Basment Playroom: Before!

So  goal on my August list was to Declutter and work on my basement... This space is actually a play area for the kiddos and a space that I have been wanting to show some extra love to for a while now.

Here is what we are working with...

Yeah... not exactly my dream space for the kids... here are the areas I hope to tackle:

• Organization of Emma's Barbie and American Girl Dolls
• Skis put away... Hello it is AUGUST!!
• See that big old 60" rear projection TV... yeah Matt MIGHT just divorce me if I cannot get rid of it by the end of the month
• Back door painted a bright color.
• Brighter colors
• Fun artwork
• Fun light fixtures
• Updated desk area... Because this is just NOT appealing to me.

• We have an old coffee table down here that I would like to transform into a play table with Chalkboard paint and craft paper. 
• New rug that is brighter?
• New pillows on sofa

Ultimately, I would like a bright and fun playroom for the kiddoes.
