Georgia House tour: Part 1

The basement is finally finished!!!  Well, all except for hanging a clock on one of the walls ;D

Ready for a tour?  Let's go!  

As you enter the main hallway from outside, you'll find Ruby just inside the door....

(Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge them if you want detail!)

I have to laugh when I stand in the hall between Allie & Emily's rooms because they're so incredibly different!  Allie's is pink and slightly over-the-top....

(Not to mention it's full of penguins!)

She's not quite finished with the space above her bed as she is looking for more unique pieces to add.  She's already using one of my old records (I believe it's Wham! LOL!)....

Emily's room, on the other hand, is reds and yellows and full of country....

Her lego collections fill the room, as both rooms are pretty tiny, but the space is their own, and I think they're happy to have it!

The hallway into the basement is nice and big- the perfect place to keep the rabbit hutch during the night or if it gets too cold or rainy outside....

And we had our builder do a built-in bench seat to store linens and blankets that we use downstairs....

The space we call the theater room is just off the entryway at the bottom of the stairs.....

I reluctantly agreed to a sectional couch to fit in this space, and it turned out to be just the perfect thing! We have space to seat the whole gang while still maintaing the ability to move a section if the kids want to play the Kinect....

I love the built-ins in this area as well!  All of our electronics are stowed away from the little kids sticky reach, and we don't have to look at wires and cables!

I put some of Caleb's toys in one of the cubbies so he can entertain himself if we're all down there :D

Here's the sectional from the front....LOVE it!  It is super comfy and it stands up to all the little boys rough play too!

Beyond the theater area is the bathroom.  I didn't get pictures because Allie was in there getting ready to go ;D  The other doorway leads to our rec/guest/kithchen space....

Ta Da!  

This was a tough space to design, but I think it turned out pretty well in the end.  It fits our needs and is very functional as it includes a kitchen area, a guest bed, a game table, our 2nd fridge, and a storage area for all our DVD's, board games, and Wii/Kinect games....

The two additional doors lead to extra storage rooms.  The one with the double doors is a huge room that we have talked about making an exercise space or possibly a photography studio for Allie!

Here you can see the "cubby" space where we put our daybed/trundle....

And this is the cupboard where we store all the games, made to match the other built-ins....

We have fabulous wood floors in this room, and I love the way it turned out!

And here's the bed area...

Complete with its own shelf and clock (you're welcome mom!)...

And above the bed hangs a fun country candle chandelier (?) with this writing below....

LOVE it! 

Next stop....the main level ;D
