Have the Coolest Basement on the Block

As I put together this post, my boys are both snoozing away.  I can't wait until they wake up tomorrow so I can let them see it. After looking at all of the awesome bedroom and treehouse photos, they already want me to transform their bed into a castle. Now, they are going to want me to design a home gym, bowling alley, and an indoor pool in our basement!

It probably would make us the coolest house on the block though...

Check out the use of crown molding in this first photo. This is a perfect idea for the home, and more specifically, the closet! Crown molding can be hung on the walls as a shoe rack, used to display those beautiful high heels you own.

Your Kids Will Be Occupied for Hours

I'm already well aware of just how much I love browsing through interior design photos. During this time, my children are usually chasing each other around the home or building a mess with their toys. Yesterday, to my surprise, they were extremely interested in what I was doing. So, I let them browse through photos on their own for a while, and again, to my surprise, it actually kept them happy, quiet, and they got along - for hours.

My boys absolutely love browsing through cool kids room and super sweet tree houses.  This post is dedicated to them and is here to showcase some of their favorites!

Affordable Living Room Furniture - Under $200

The couch we currently have in the living room needed to be replaced about two years ago.  Actually, it's a loveseat, and with 5 people in the house and visiting friends on the weekend, it isn't exactly helping us out any either.  I'm determined to update soon, and since I'm on a budget, I have to plan and save accordingly.

So, here are some affordable living room furniture pieces I have found, all under 200 dollars and they all fit in my budget!

Head Over Heels for these Headboards

The headboard I have in my bedroom is pretty basic - plain black and really not exciting at all.  So, I love to look at interior design photos for some inspiration.  One day, I may get around to switching out my boring black headboard for one of these that make me say "Holy crap, that's amazing."

Have You Seen It - A Free, Tiny Library

If you didn't know they existed, now you do.  You can find Little Free Libraries spread across the U.S. Check out this map to see if there is one near you.  Or, you can make your own!

Here's a little information about these tiny, free libraries

The first one was built by Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin, in 2009.  To honor his mother, who was a teacher with a love for reading, he built a tiny one room school house and placed it in his front yard filled with books for his neighbors, or anyone passing by to take and enjoy.


At the end of the first year after the official launch of the Little Free Library initiative in 2010, there were just about 400 tiny libraries across the country.  That number quickly grew to a total of nearly 15,000 (and growing) in January 2014.  That is a tremendous growth!



So, what's the purpose of all these tiny libraries?  The goal is "To promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations."

DIY Wall Art Collage Inspiration

I have a whole box full of artwork that I've done and today I decided to pull some pieces out for display.  I started with frames, and didn't really like the finished look, so I took it all down and started over.  I'm very pleased with what I ended up with - a diy wall art collage.  I hope this might inspire you to create your own artwork or your own art wall.
