Basement Before & After
There's a reason basements often become cluttered dumping grounds, they're usually dark, uninviting and an excuse to hide your mess away. If you have an underused or unappealing basement, take some cues from designer Frances Herrera who transformed this one into a bright, welcoming playroom for a 5-year-old.
Edrie's Nursery
Name: Edrie (5 months)
Location: Portland, OR
 
Though we now know Edrie is a girl, we didn't prior to her birth. We knew it was popular, but a grey and yellow color palate worked perfectly for a gender neutral nursery. We were on a tight budget and I love to craft, so many projects in the room were DIY.
Superheroes Party
Daniel loves playing 'Superheroes'. What little boy doesn't? So his mom decided to throw him a superhero party complete with a real life size telephone booth, capes, eye masks, and a visit from Batman. Every child received their own cape, mask and wrist band and got to choose their own 'superhero' name badge.
Upcycled Tealights
Once your kids are past the egg hunt stage, you may find yourself stuck with a few dozen plastic Easter eggs. You can hand them down to another family who can use them or get creative like Taylor and turn the garish little things into stylish tealights.
