I almost didn't share these photos of our basement. Our basement is hard to photograph since it doesn't get a lot of natural light, so I don't always love the photos, even tho I adore it in person. The Christmas decor and lights, make it extra magical down here, so I thought I would share it anyways, and hopefully it will give you ideas for your home, or just give you a cozy warm feeling! Our basement is actually where Christmas morning happens, all the presents are around this tree. And we host our family parties down here, because it has the most seating and the kids can play games while ... Read More

Christmas in Finn’s Bedroom- Coziest Plaid Bedding
I changed Finn's bedding to classic flannel for the holidays and I am obsessed! I also added a small Christmas tree, so special for kids to add to the magic of Christmas, or even a strand of lights around their window. He loves it all, except for the Nutcrackers, he likes them in the day, but turns them around so they "aren't watching him" while he sleeps. Bless. Sharing Christmas magic in Finn's bedroom today!

Basement Family Room- Utah Ranch Home
Our basement family room has gotten a lot of use already after only living here for 6 months. We especially love this large space to gather around the holidays and for winter birthdays! This basement space is a really long narrow room, basically a bowling ally! I was concerned with how narrow it was that we wouldn't be able to get a lot of seating in here. I was wrong! With the right furniture placement we pulled it off! We have easily gathered with 20+ people and could squeeze in way more if needed! The biggest things we did in this room was make the windows larger, moved the stairs to ... Read More
