I recently swapped out the oil painting in the living room for a collection of three framed photo’s. The old oil painted was often referred to as looking like it was stright out of Miami Vice…. for the pastel colors that seemd to be remeniscent of the colors they wore in Miami Vice… the white and the pink especially.
Before and After…
This time we take a look at the Bookcase wall in the Family room. This wall is the other side of the enclosed stairway going downstairs. I always wanted library/study section in a home. This open area sorta forms part of that feeling. The other side of the room next to the windows will eventually form the total feel… as I hope to put a Eames Chair / Ottoman and Naguchi Table across from the bookcases for a real open library feel….
The bookcases and cd towers are from Ikea and I assembled them and secured them together into one unit and also to the wall behind them. This baby isn’t going anywhere!
The basement project was spread out across many years. For several reasons it took longer to complete than originally planned… as a result it easy to forget what what each phase looked like. The Basement Recap is intended to place a series of images together that highlight a section of the basement and follows it through the construction from beginning to end.
I start off this series by looking at the North end of the Family room. This is where the kids desk sits. It is the narrowest section of the family room and is just at the bottom of the stairs.
This morning I imported all 730+ posts from the past back into the site. I spent a bit of time removing obvious posts that are no longer applicable. I still have a bunch of clean up to do, so please pardon the dust while I work to remove irrelevant posts from the site over the next couple of weeks.
Thank you for your understanding!

After nearly 7 years the basement project is drawing to a close! The family room space is now inhabitable! The kids had a good time settling into the space last night when they returned home. We now just have some final decoration items to finish and a shelf here and there, but otherwise the room is complete!
