Hello everyone, I hope your day is going fantastic. Today I am sharing all that we have done in the last few weeks to update the girls zone in the basement. It has been an area that we just kind of set up and didn’t really get set perfectly. It was an area that I found to be cluttered the majority of the time:) I would tell the girls to clean their stuff up and guess what? I would go back down and it would still look messy…..who’s fault was it? Mine. I can’t expect them to keep their rooms clean, if I don’t give them some areas to put away all of their things easily. So this is what we did.
This picture is of what it looked like before we did anything. I have the cubes for the girls clothing. The dollhouse is sitting on the floor with all of the accessories everywhere:)
This is a constant battle….mess…mess…mess:)
The bathroom, has no storage so it has shoved clutter as well:)
The bedroom has five girls in it, so you can imagine what it is like when your sister wants to set out all of her belongings in the middle of the floor?!?!?!
This is the after…..we repainted the walls…the same color just a tad different. We moved the dollhouse, and make a rule that when they are finished, no accessories are allowed on the wood floors:)
I got rid of the tv cords….my demise?!!?!?! If you watch the video below, you can see how easy it was to do that….even I did it!!!!
This is now the girls clothing area, they have another set of cubes so they don’t have to shove their clothing:) I still have to get rid of those cords, that is left for hubby:) It also has the baskets sitting on top…those went into the bathroom storage unit, I was in the process of painting when I took this photo.
Here the girls set up their desks. My husband made these for us. Amazon sells them for $150-180 and we made them for $180. Each girl got a desk.
We painted the doors grey to match the walls….it helps HUGELY in a family where everyone touches the white doors?!?!!? I also got a cabinet where the laundry hamper is at…in the video:)
Here is the wall color in the bathroom after.
You can watch these two videos so you can see what it was like as we were doing the process. I hope you enjoy and have a blessed day!
