UPDATE: 4 for 4 Plant Swap, 2 packs of seeds, w/ a bonus! :-)
Comments (40)I got a nice package today from Tina. It had some houseplant starts and some bulbs, which I hopefully will plant on Sunday as it is supposed to be nice, although snow tonight! Yuck :0 There were some nice goodies in ther for my house, candle and some fabulous incense which I am burning right now! A bulb hole digger, and some seeds, baggies and plant markers too! And a magazine for my downtime when feeding my baby, yipee :) Thanks Tina, no worries about taking longer, stuff happens, and I loved my package! Hope things are better for your family, loss of a loved one is all consuming, and I hope you are feeling better. Steph...See MoreHelp needed with Bonus Room Plan

Comments (7)We have a two story foyer and a regular 10' ceiling in our great room which is in view of foyer...it looks fine. As far as whether to do the playroom over the great room vs over the garage, for me there would be several factors to take into consideration. 1. Like cpartist said, a lot would depend on the floor plan upstairs. 2. I like the 16 x 18 dimensions better than the 12 x 25....I don't think long narrow rooms are as easy to use or decorate. Plus, I would imagine the natural light would be better in the 16 x 18 space. 3. To me, the only drawback to having the playroom over the great room would be the thumping from activity. My ds plays vigorous indoor bball games with friends, and my dd is a tumbler. I am grateful the floor space is well insulated, but still hear the occasional thump. 4. Could you make the space over the great room, and leave the space over the garage unfinished? That way you leave all of your options open. I really think you will prefer not having a 2 story great room, regardless....See MoreHelp me decorate our bonus room before our housewarming!
Comments (49)Thanks everyone for so many suggestions! I am worried I’m trying to do TOO many things with this room. At first I thought I would get some desks in there for the kids to use for homework/crafts. I considered getting the IKEA shelving units and counter top to make a DIY 2 or 3 person desk along the long wall. Then I found this photo on pinterest and fell in LOVE with everything about it. Then I thought it would also be great to have the room serve as a quiet relaxing area to read a book or sit and talk, and for overflow seating when we host people. Also considered adding a small tv in there since the living room is always taken over by the kids and their shows. I kinda feel like I’m going in circles. I am a very visual person. Although I am not sure what exactly I want to do in the room yet, I feel like I will know it when I see it. I would LOVE to see some mockups, if anyone is good with that sort of thing. I am considering swapping out the charcoal chairs for some cream ones, similar to these: I LOVE the console I have in there (and the lamp and the picture I have propped up on it currently) and would LOVE to figure out a way to use them. I also really love my tables in there. I am looking at a few sofa options - thinking beige or tan since that would coordinate with the charcoal OR cream chairs. Here are some I am looking at and would love your input. I picked up some pillows to pull together the neutral colors also: And for the long wall, I am considering a gallery wall to showcase some pics of the kids. I stopped at Target last night and picked up a 14x18 and 16x20 size. Not sure how many frames to use and which layout to use, or if there are rules about this sort of thing, especially if going above a sofa on the long wall. I got them in a black and also a natural wood—leaning toward the black for the pop it would give but open to feedback on all of this! For inspiration, I really love how these rooms just seem to well put together and want to get mine there too! Basically could really use some helping pulling this all together!!!...See MoreKW PNW Z8
