My younger brother just went back to college after being home on break for almost a month. At the end of the summer, our basement got a bit flooded and we had to rip up a lot of the carpet, leaving it pretty much unusable since then. It’s not a finished basement obviously, but we’ve spent time making it our own [and hey, I like the unfinished basement look anyway!]
So while my brother was home he & I spent two days giving my parent’s basement a makeover–putting down a new rug, throwing stuff out, and re-arranging everything. Here’s a little tour!
Pillows I made, a new old green couch, and we finally got a bookshelf.

Old old couch (sofa bed!) for sleepovers & a table I got thrifting in college. So cute–i’m pretty sure it’s from Urban Outfitters.
This is my little music corner + most of our guitars. My Clash poster that’s restricted to the floor…Apparently my music taste is not good enough & doesn’t even come close to the Beatles :P I’m not sure why I have two saxophones…
Check out my old pink iMac! I’m not sure what to do with it, so it kind of just chills behind the couch. I’ve upgraded it & it works except it won’t save any files! I originally got it just for music recording purposes. Anyone have an idea for it?
My interior decorating trained Mom even said the space looked great. Success? ♥ I definitely want to hang out down there more now…it feels so cozy. Next stop–make my craft area pretty!
