This Styled Wife

Let’s see in the past 10 years or so I would definitely say that my husband and I have, well…matured.  Hopefully, it happens to all of us someday and I intend to embrace it!  Our basement rec area however, until now had definitely not matured with us!  It has always been a bit boring for years and frankly we don’t use it much.  But, that is all about to change my friends!  I wanted to give it a little face-lift and spruce it up a bit so it would fit our lifestyle, age, and entertaining habits.  When we  entertain we always, always end up in the kitchen.  Don’t get me wrong, I love that it is the heart of the home, but sometimes it is ok for a little change of scenery, and fun darn it!  So, clearly I am not a pro because I really didn’t take before photos but you should get the picture.  Not too much going on, and really, really blah.  So we’ve added a few fun things like a buffet and small liquor selection as well as some inviting lighting and bar stools.  It’s still a work in progress, but for now I can really see us getting some use out of this space.  I hope you too can find a space in your home that has fallen by the wayside that could use a  little “help”.  Buy some new throw pillows, maybe a lamp and give your room a whole new look and feel!  Have a fabulous day friends!

(Don’t mind the pull-up bar and gaudy trophy’s – those would belong to the hubby.  And I’ve been told they are here to stay :))
