An Instagram Reveal of the Basement #projectgetroomsreadyforkids

I have to make this quick...these dudes are coming to do a little filming of my basement today...

...and I still have a bucket list of little finicky things to finish before the cameras arrive.

Before that though, here's the latest on what's been done a la the basement.

1. Flowers and my antique mirror got added...

2. My new Stone Textile Pillow came and needed just the right home so I moved the Platner chair that used to live upstairs down and they're so happy together...

3. I shopped my house for artwork to hang downstairs and love how this old antique oil farm scene works alongside the very simple modern sconces...

4. We hung the TV...now note, the guy at the store promised me me that the frame was brushed/matte black and well, it's not so will likely be exchanged...

5.  My blue velvet pillow from Studio Tullia arrived...

...and I love love it.

(curtains are handpainted silk from Pillotopia . chevron pillows are from CC Deux Vie]

6. I added some blooms in bedroom...

...because no room would be finished without them.

7. The laundry room got styled...

...and you know me...no space feels done unless there's some type of bust/porcelain animal in it;)

So...

After introducing this project way back in February and with this horrow show 'before' situation, Home Depot came to the rescue by supplying and installing (National Installations) all the tile (3x6 white subway for the laundry and bathroom walls from Daltile Corporation and marble mosaic for the bathroom floor by Anatolia Tile) and laminate flooring (from Beaulieu Canada...underlayment from PXL Cross Linked Foam) for the project.  This space literally would NEVER HAVE HAPPENED without them and I am forever grateful.

And speaking of grateful, I also have to give a ginormous shout out to my amazingly talented architect, wjb designs, for giving the bones of this space a new life.  

Of course, my carpenter Allen had a HUGE part in this whole thing too- literally couldn't have any project work/come to fruition without him...same goes for my painter Peter...love them both to the moon and back.

So with all of that, #projectgetroomsreadyforkids has been re-born and is now officially DONE!

I/we couldn't be happier with it and now that all is finito, the actual living in it begins...right after some photoshoots happen that is;)

Stay tuned for a non-Instagrammed version of the reveal soon!
