Basement Room Finale

We have been happily enjoying our basement room makeover and now I have finally taken the last few finishing touch pictures.  However, I thought I would start at the very beginning. 

My goal was to reclaim this room and make it usable.

The most surprising part of the job was that it went so much quicker than I thought it would,

  once I got busy that is ;)

Once it was cleaned up the fun part began - getting creative.

And then for the finishing touches.  The guys wanted to be able to block out all light for gaming purposes so I ended up putting a rollerblind.  I am still looking for a different curtain to put over top of that but I may have to end up making one.

I also added a little carpet to warm up the room.

And finally, clean, cozy and very usable.

We have been enjoying using this room so much and hubby has thanked me many times over for cleaning it out and making it usable.  Now, he is busy working on the main family room. Who knows, it may even be ready before Christmas.  Now that would be a treat indeed :)

I am joining in at "The Shabby Chic Cottage" for Transformation Thursdays .  So many creative people and so many amazing transformations.  It's worth stopping by for a visit.

I am also joining in at "My Romantic Home" for Show and Tell Friday  Another great place to visit with so many beautiful things to see.  Definately take some time to check it out if you can.
