House tour- Basement.

Hello! After almost two years of living in our new house, it's about time to get these photo posts accomplished. I love seeing other's homes and what they do with them, and it's fun to document what it looked like in the beginning!

We announced we were moving on the blog in June 2023 (and also moved that month too). We are thankful to still live in the same small town we love, and only moved a few houses down from our old house! We always loved the area and our neighbors and are so glad we didn't go far! We had been looking for about a year and a half, and it is sweet to see the hindsight now of how God provided this house and how good it's been for our family.

This is a picture of the family room in the basement on the day we moved in. This is one of the things we really loved about this house, as we envision our girls using it a lot with their friends in their teenage years! My parents were so gracious in letting my friends hang out in our basement growing up, and we would love to have a space like that for our girls too. Our old house had a very small basement with not much space for things like this, so it's a gift! 

While I am no professional photographer or interior designer, here are a few photos of what the basement looks like today. We bought the sectional and pool/ping pong table from my parents when they were making some changes to their basement, so that was a fun addition and I'm sure will be used even more as the girls get older! For now this room is mostly a playroom for barbies, games, and legos.

The store room is massive and more storage space than we even need!

There are three basement bedrooms, which has been a sweet gift for hosting family. My grandparents had moved to an independent living apartment about the same time we moved, so they weren't able to host anyone anymore, so now when my family comes, we can host everyone! We use two of the basement bedrooms as guest rooms. Lucy and Ellory share a bedroom upstairs, so we also have the option for Norah to move into the basement as she gets older someday and they can have their own rooms. For now, two guest rooms has been surprisingly helpful!
