Renovations: More Wall Space!

We have one wall completed in our Basement to Playroom Transition!

I bet you thought you'd see photos too. Sorry! Not yet! I do, however, have some of my wonderful, very 'to-scale' diagrams (yeah right!). :)

We have the wall by the furnace, water heater, etc. done. So, again, this is what our basement looked like before:

The boxes on the left are stairs and the squares/circles are the furnace, water heater, etc.

And, we were planning on putting a wall up, to safely cover the items that we didn't want Lucy to have access to. Like this:

Once Heath and my father-in-law put up the wall, they realized the small door to the landing was unnecessary. Here, this will better explain. We ended up with this:

The red arrow denotes my easily accessible path to a small storage space! Yay! No extra cubby door!

Again, the landing is just a drop in the ceiling, so I could leave the window exposed. I wanted Lucy to have a second exit for emergencies, and for the light to shine in. In addition, it is nice to open it up and let some fresh air in! :)

All of this will be much clearer with photos! I apologize for my awful diagrams! haha.

On a fun note, I have bought a few items for the room, for storage!

I bought two of these little stacking boxes.



I bought one of these, it's teal.



I bought one of these, thus far, in lime green.

Since I am not even sure what will go in these things, I stopped buying more, for now.  Once I start to fill the room, I will have a better idea of what we need.

I have been eyeing these:

I want something similar to these; but, I am just not sold on one yet. :{

I also want some canvas totes; but, remember, I have to somehow incorporate red into the decor. Since the carpet is bright red! Ugh!  So, I want something cute, perhaps polka dot, that ties all these colors in:




We'll see....I may just have to get some cute artwork or something, and use these solid colored totes. I'll figure it out.

If you have any suggestions for cute, white shelves, or fun decor, I would love to hear them! Let me know! I could use some help!

Guess what? Tomorrow is Friday!
