My last hopes for a vacation this year are gone but you do what you have to do.

The 2 oldest Grandsons are spending more time at the house so a lot of what we are doing centers around them visiting and there is the little one. V V V

We have a room in the basement we built for the kids to hang out years ago and have tried to keep it free for dinners with the family during holidays which is now down to 1 day a year.

So today Mike and I shopped for furniture to turn this area into a cozy room the family can use more often.

I hope you can get a flow of how the area is from the photos.

This is the view walking in. I don't use the PC anymore so Mike wants to get rid of that and the desk.
I do like it because it has photo and scrap booking programs I still use so maybe it will go upstairs to the crafting area. I think I can find a smaller computer desk.



As you come in and go to the left this is the new view.

The oak entertainment cabinet stays but will be moved somewhere! LOL!
We have a round bar we are thinking will go nicely in the corner in front of the big shelf minus the TV.



This is the view as you turn back around towards the way you came in.
The round bar is on the left.

The futon is going but the antique bakers cabinet on the right is staying.



The new furniture set is a couch/love seat/oversized chair and ottoman in a nice mod green.

I'm hoping the rag rugs we currently have will match in a funky mod meets relaxed style way.

I'm open to any suggestion on furniture placement or decorating.

Looks like it's going to be a nice family area. Can't wait to see it in person!

My funky green furniture is not green ...LOL
It's really brown.
Glad I didn't buy window treatments!
No pics until I get all the clutter out of the way.

You taking it over from there? Contractor done or are they putting the siding on too?

Taking over the project from here. Permits/inspections allow non licensed homeowner to do whatever work they want as long as it passes. So...Lots of work to do. But I enjoy doing it, and seeing the final results.

I can't believe you got all that done so fast but time is money.
Looks nice.

Thanks. Research on contractors, and not paying anyone anything until jobs were done. Everything came in on time and on budget to the day and about $200 dollars due to a little extra concrete.

Chris are you doing Home Improvements as a form of income? And if you are, is the price of real estate holding up in your area enough to make a profit doing that?
