The only room that needs to be repainted is the red room. If you added a lighter color, painted some of your furniture white or a lighter color and get a cute slip covered white couch from IKEA. What a great space for your family...and your husband has spoken...don't make it too girly:-) I am still waiting for my basement to get finished...a little jealous here!Jeanne Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416388678277513385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597261479143911525.post-54636629069628752009-01-25T08:19:00.000-06:002009-01-25T08:19:00.000-06:00I love your blog!!

Anyone looking at your basemen...I totally get you! Anyone looking at your basement would think "what's the problem, it's a great space" and it is, it just doesn't do it for you. I know that feeling. <BR/><BR/>When I look at the photos the first thing that pops in my head is it needs new paint, brighter colors, like a great warm yellow. It just needs to be cheerier so you don't get that dungeon feeling. <BR/><BR/>I wish I lived near you because I would love to a part of the decorating party!
