THE GREEN BASEMENT REVEAL

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....

BEFORE AND AFTER BASEMENT

So I was just looking back at my post and realized that I do have some good stuff to share!  It's hard for me to remember what I have posted and I haven't :)

Somebody recommended me to this client and what a gem she has been....So sweet and so trusting!  I have had the best time working on a few rooms in her home.

I did her office, powder bath and guest room which I will share soon but we have been working on the basement for a while.

There was some construction to be done so we did that first and then added some paint and wallpaper.

This was the first area we tackled...just some unused space that needed a purpose!  I purposed a cabinet with a fridge and pullout trash can.  A countertop and a shelf.....

It turned out great and will be very useful when they are entertaining and of course with young 3 kids it will be a good place to house snacks!  I had the walls painted SW Pewter Green and the cabinet painted a lighter color BM Duxbury Gray

Here is what the space looked like before paint and wallpaper....Again with walls SW Pewter Green and the cabinet BM Duxbury Gray.  There was a-lot of thought that went into these paint colors....I went back and forth between the lighter on the walls and darker on the cabinets but in the end I was afraid that the lighter color was just too light for the walls!

I am glad I listened to my gut!

Above is the color and a slice of the wallpaper!

 

Also if you scroll back up you will see that there are 3 cabinet doors so we filled in the holes and added edge pulls.  That way it doesn't look funny with 2 knobs on one side and one on the other!

This room is so warm and cozy now!

With this space we added a table and chairs...

from Crate and Barrel.

Below there was this dead space so after some thought I found this cabinet to add height.

Can't wait to accessorize this and the whole room!

All of the furniture has arrived except for the coffee table and rug so we are close to putting the finishing touches in place!

I have been shopping and collecting things for a month now and my LR looks like a flea market:)

Of course my favorite part is bringing the room together and making it cozy....I can't wait!
