We are so grateful for our home and the memories we continue to create here. We are grateful for the opportunity and ability to make it our own.
We recently created a cozy little clubhouse under the stairs in our basement for the girls to hang out in and read/play. They adore the space and so do we! We don't have a before picture, but imagine an unfinished basement with exposed wood and concrete floors. It's amazing what a little white paint can do to brighten up a dark space. It's also amazing how much larger the space seems. Here it is....

- we previously stored all of our gift wrap items under here, but this is such a better use of space - |

- the rule was we weren't allowed to purchase anything for decorating, so we got creative with leftover paint, carpet remnants, fabric, fake flowers, etc - |

-they prefer to have the space to themselves and shut the doors! - |
We just love listening to their little voices and can't wait to
unwrap the gift of fun, creativity and conversation that flows from this space!
