Yup! Our basement turned into a playroom + my office! (well, the office is still in progress ) This is what the basement/playroom looked like before! You can tell I need a serious clean-up for this one! I call it a toyphoon!! (one of the joys of parenting!) haha
Before:
I'm not a fan of wall-to-wall carpets. Area rugs, yes! Love them!! So major makeover here is to take out the carpets and put in some floors; I love the looks of dark floors, so we look into different kinds of floors.. hardwood, laminate & bamboo..online & in stores, but of course,, without breaking our set budget. After we'd done our assignment (which was reading reviews online about floors), we decided to get the laminate floor for this project. (that's all we can afford anyway! haha) We choose the farmstead hickory dark floors at home depot. We love it! hehe
So here's how my awesome hubby did our floors. It's actually an easy installation because of its user-friendly locking technology! We don't have to buy or rent nail guns on those hardwood floors. (or whatever you call them).
Looking good, right? Hubby did a fantastic job!
After Installing the laminate floors, we installed this Ikea Besta Tv/Media Storage. You can choose the cabinet doors & the shelves you wanna put in. It's a mix & a match thing.
We waited a year before we painted it, so when I returned from my vacation in the Philippines. It's painting time! Hehe, and I am so excited!!
This is the A F T E R :
I painted it Breaker by Behr; it's a happy color! And added some picture frames & will add some more; still trying to figure it out.
And I also change the frame of my husband's "mother and son" artwork!
And more DIY Additions.

I'll soon post about my DIY CorkBoard & Herringbone Stenciled wall & about my office desk :)
Still in progress! But It's going there! Hehe..til' then!
