Basement Family Room...

Friday, July 31, 2015 9:52

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We have started another pretty big project…

Our basement family room is getting a makeover.

This has always been our playroom/exercise/Junk room!

It has been a nice place to put all of our extra junk and it’s been great for the kids to have a playroom.

Now a few of our kids are moving into their teen years and we have noticed it would be nice to have another area for them to “hang out”.

My husband and I decided we’d like our TV room back on the weekends.

These two agreed and helped my husband start this project…

DEMOLITION!

They are actually becoming really helpful!

These two made a stage and were dancing to the song “Happy”!

This is when I started feeling “overwhelmed”!

It is amazing how removing the built-in really opened up the room.

It’s nice not to come down the stairs and around the corner and feel like you’re hitting a wall.

We are going to make this area a “TV” room and the other side will become the air hockey/play area.

We will also be adding a wall of storage.

I can’t wait to have our family room be bright and fresh!

I did a post on family rooms that I loved from the Salt Lake Parade of homes last year. If you’d like to see it, you can find it HERE.

Here are a few of my inspiration photos:

We will either do a smaller version of something like these built-ins…

Or we will just mount our TV on the wall and put a buffet/hutch below it like this:

Or this…

Our wall in the play area will be used for storage.

We will probably be using the Pax System from Ikea.

Here are a few beautiful ideas for that…

We picked our carpet, couch and paint color. Now we have to get to work!

Why is it always so easy to “start” a project?
Then once there is a mess, you realize just how much work it’s going to take to complete it and you run out of energy!

Hopefully, this makeover is a much faster project than our KITCHEN REMODEL!
