I know... I have been talking about it for months. Well, the wait is over. I am showing you my finished Basement living room. I didn't think that it would ever get done. I have to say though... it turned out even better than I imagined. I love it.
Remember when I first moved into my place? I gave you a tour of my house as I decorated each room. First I finished my bedroom. Then I finished my bathroom... which I love mostly because of my shower curtain. For over a year... that is where it stopped as far as decorating went in the basement. Its not that I didn't want to fix up the other room... I just didn't have any furniture or inspiration of what I wanted that room to be like. I knew I wanted it to be a craft space... but I wanted it to be more than that... so for the past year or so it has been collecting junk that I didn't know what to do with and it looked like this...
Then I went to India and I decided that I wanted the room to incorporate my travels as well. So my friend Rachel threw out the idea of using India as my inspiration with decorating. That was all it took. My mind started going and I came up with a ruff idea of what I wanted the room to be like. So after buying some furniture at Ikea, and having a pain in the butt time getting a couch from RC Willey and MANY trips to Ross and TJ Max... the room now looks like this.
I LOVE it! Here are some details that I love.
Here are some things in the room that you may recognize if you have been following my blog.
#1- The pictures that are blown up and framed on the wall are from two different photo of the weeks. This one and this one.
#2- The Broken Mirror Art that I made on the back wall. Find that here.
#3- You may recognize the Ivory Suitcases that I used in this photoshoot. And the Shabby Suite Case I made here.
#4- My Travelers Map that I made here.
#5- Hopefully you noticed my beautiful Tea Set on the corner table that I used at this Tea Party and this Tea Party.
All in all I love the room. I was happy that I could incorporate a craft/ study space like I originally wanted AND also have it be a living room where I can watch TV (while I craft even) or invite people over to watch a movie. I am also happy that I got to incorporate something that I love, traveling. The design may be India inspired, but there are pictures and memorabilia displayed from different trips and I will continue to add that. I love that the suite cases & Map add to the traveling theme. I am proud to say that I picked out all of the furniture (except the love seat which my mom and sister Kristy found at TJ Max) and I designed and decorated the whole room. I'm pleased with it. Its very different than anything I have seen and I think that makes me like it more.
Special thanks to Rachel for some staging help, picking out the wall decals and room advice. Special thanks to my parents... especially my mom for helping with some details and last finishing touches. I appreciate the help.
I'm really proud of the room, so if you want to drop by and see it in person, I would love to show it to you. :o)

What an incredible transformation! Your India-inspired theme is so creative, and I love how you've added personal touches from your travels. The photos, maps, and decor items really tell a beautiful story. For the ultimate comfort in your new living room, I would suggest an ortho mattress. It's designed to support your body properly, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a restful time when you relax or have guests over. With allyour hard work ino this room, a great ortho mattress would help you recharge and make the space even more inviting. Great job—your living room looks amazing!
