Good Monday evening and how is your week going? Mine is off to a very busy start but trucking along…. today felt like spring and it was incredible to walk out with just a light jacket. Could it be? I am almost afraid to wish for it as with my luck, a new snow storm will be lurking! About 6 months ago I shared with you, our lower level or at least a part of it, click here if you missed part 1<\/em><\/a>. Today I am sharing the rest (or most of it).<\/p>\n

Our basement aka lower level is quite large. In fact I could happily live down there now that we are basically empty nesters (so sad). It came out really beautiful, it’s a more casual area but so comfortable. The tall ceilings (10 feet) do not at all make it feel like a basement and we have many windows so truly its almost feels like a main floor. So join me as I show you around…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you first get downstairs there is a “foyer\/hallway” area where we put a beautiful French antique armoire that we have had for quite some time, didn’t know where else to put it so here it is for now at least….<\/p>\n

Then there is a pretty powder room (Thibaut paper) still waiting on new mirror but this is here as a temporary “fill in”-<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0483\"<\/a> \"DSC_0482\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a small vestibule that separates the area above to the gym (to the left there is an unfinished room designated as a future wine room) This fixture below is way too dressy I know,? but we have it from our old house so just using it for now…..<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0532\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then the next room is a gym, thankfully my husband? and college aged son (when home) use it a lot<\/em>. I wish I could say I do but I am getting there, after hurting my knee quite badly (partially torn ACL)? over a year ago, I am gun shy about doing hardcore exercise again but one of my big resolutions is to get back to exercising.<\/p>\n

It’s a really fabulous room in the way that gyms go, beautiful carpeting that is soft on the feet, not one but two TV’s (husbands idea) professional gym equipment, every comfort one could want and mirrors on every wall to remind you why you need to be there in the first place lol….<\/p>\n

From the gym room there is a small vestibule with a cabinet (eventually for towels) and then there is a gym bath (not finished)-<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0491\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the still unfinished gym bath, there is a toilet and the shower is done but we received a damaged vanity and still waiting for replacement, which is taking forever.? Do love the floor from Tilebar:)<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0492\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not much to see right now other than the pretty floor:)<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0493\"<\/a> \"DSC_0494\"<\/a> \"DSC_0495\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving along down the hallway……this is possibly our favorite room in the entire? house, my husabnd uses it every single night and I often join him (if I like what is “playing”). The screen is enormous and the sound is just like that of a theater…this sofa is the most comfortable sofa I have ever sat on (thank you Lee Industries) for making it.<\/p>\n

Its a soft cozy chenille and is perfect for movie watching! The coffee table is actually two coffee tables pushed together from Ralph Lauren, its a more transitional look but super classic. We painted the walls a rick dark navy (Ralph Lauren)? which I love.<\/p>\n

Only thing temporary here are these sconces, these are too nautical for the room but we had them from our old house so put them up for now, working on getting the replacements ordered. Still loving for movie inspired art as you can see, we have a few not yet hung and eventually add some other pillows.<\/p>\n

The carpet is a rich navy with gold dots from Stanton. All the furniture pieces are from Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n

This amazing sectional is from Lee Industries<\/p>\n

The beautiful coffee table is actually two tables together and are from Ralph Lauren<\/p>\n

And then right next door is the wonderful entertaining space that was revealed on? part of part 1 here is a reminder<\/em><\/a>–<\/p>\n

Believe it or not there is more- another bedroom and bath, a huge “playroom” and a ping pong\/billiard table room beyond these rooms that are finished but there is virtually nothing in them but a sectional and a ping pong table. Our visions of our kids playing there sadly are a bygone era and wishful thinking at this point…..but the space is there maybe for future grandchildren?<\/p>\n

In the meantime we really enjoy this lower level especially the movie room, as it is so cozy, warm and inviting. So there you have it….the lower level completed (with the exception of odds and ends). Thank you for stopping in, wishing you a wonderful evening and great start to your week. Until next time…..<\/p>\n
