It is only in the beginning stages, but we are very happy with the progress so far!
The jumping off point was the IKEA headboard-turned organization station that I found on Craig for $70. It's quite narrow, which is perfect for space-saving reasons.
The sides pull out or can be hidden by rolling back into the headboard. We have been busy filling up the shelves with things from our craft stash. Glass jars make the perfect place to store things like ribbon and markers.
The walls are painted Asparagus in Baer Paint. It makes a great background for colorful accents like the paper lanterns from Pier 1 (thanks to The2Seasons for info on where to buy!). The floor material is called Allure and was purchased at Home Depot a couple years ago. It is made to look like hardwood, but conducive to the temperature changes in a basement.
And Target has a wonderful selection of supplies, like these colorful bins and the cork squares, which were only $6.
We are having so much fun down here now! We are on the hunt for a colorful area rug and table/chairs for the middle of the room.
What project are you working on these days?
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious week!
xoxo,
Kim

What a fun space. I have a feeling the girls will want to hang out at your house all the time. :D
What a great use for an unused space, Kim! It looks really good. Love the Ikea piece you found; it works great there, too. Love the paper lanterns, too. Have you checked out Flor carpet tiles? They are eco-conscious and you can make up your own pattern with the different color squares.
What a fun space, Kim! I'm sure ALL the girls in the family will be enjoying this room!

That is awesome! I love how you repurposed the headboard. Brilliant! The colors are so fun but the best is that Miss Middle stared an Eco friendly club! She is precious!
This is fantastic Kim! I absolutely love the headboard turned storage and your girls must think this is so cool. Well done mom! :-)
