Happy Saturday guys! We are having all kinds of crazy weather here in Atlanta....not like out in California but none the less I go from turning the AC on to turning on the heat:) I have some reveal pictures today of the green basement that I installed on Tuesday! I am loving how it turned out....so warm and cozy. This is a lower level family room but it is right off the playroom so it's nice to have a spot for the grownups to hang while the kids are creating mayhem in the other room..... On the last post I kind of gave you the basics. It was painted and most of the furniture had been delivered. On Tuesday Rose and I did all the styling and there was a big need for that kind of stuff with a long cabinet under the TV and a cabinet that we also ordered. Let's get to it! Incase you forgot the walls are SW Pewter Green and the cabinet is BM Duxbury Gray There were so many books to buy and I am happy to say that most came from second hand stores....I think I used over 40 so that would have been pretty expensive if they were all new.... I wanted this cabinet to feel really edited and not cluttered..... Below are pictures of the small bar area. This was just empty unused space. We added a beverage fridge and pull out trash can. Great place for snacks and stuff on movie night! Just in case you forgot....here is what we started with! The after..... Here are a few shots of the space and how we orientated all of the furniture.... I love the Lee Industries Sofa and velvet swivel chairs..... The 2 small end tables are form our fav place Target! So hard to get good shots down here....well because I am not a professional and I was pretty tired at the end of the day! Behind the sofa as a very long wall and I am lucky that she already had this beautiful piece.... We really could not paint this wall below because it is at the bottom of the staircase and goes up to the 3rd floor....but I did not want to leave it bare. I got a great piece of art from my friend Andrea Costa and a vintage rug to tie it all together and warm it up. Perfect way to bring some green over there.... I am so happy with how it turned out and so is she. Such a good client...I can't tell you how many times she said "I trust you"..... I love that:) And here we are....finished with this one except we are waiting for the light fixture to go over the table. First install in 2023. I went to Scott's on Thursday...saw some great stuff as usual. Hope you guys have a good weekend.... Shayworkinghard!
