My parents are in the process of finishing up basement renovations to their place out in Virginia. They recently finished an upstairs renovation including new mudroom/ entrance and screened in porch all designed by my mom and the basement is the final piece. Here is a little idea of what the basement could look like. Since it is out in the country, I think the term "rustic-chic" applies perfectly. The basement serves as a guest room, entertainment room, and family room all rolled into one with a wood burning stove. The atmosphere is warm and cozy to reflect it's purpose, stylish with pops of color to reflect it's owners, and a tad rustic/ natural to reflect it's location. Doesn't that couch just make you want to curl up with popcorn for a good movie? Below are some more images of what I consider to be rustic chic.

The only decent picture I have of the house on my computer with Mr. Odin posing of course.

What are your requirements for the perfect basement? Someday soon, with their permission of course, I'll post a home tour of the place. Also, e-mail me with the item number if you'd like sources for anything you see in the mood board. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and Happy Monday!

PS. As I've said before, if anyone wants a mood board done for them (for free-sies), let me know because I love doing them (they relax me.. I know.. crazy) and love being pushed outside of my style/ design comfort zone. See what I came up with for
Sabra,
Carrie,
Cat,
Yuri, and
more!
PSS. I want to say a huge thank you to Mackenzie from
Design Darling for offering an awesome Graphic Image $75 give away which I WON! Still can't decide what to get, but I'm gravitating towards the
jewelry travel case or the
re-fillable notebook. What would you pick?
LOVE these images - and your rustic chic basement is the nicest basement I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration photos! And your mood board is beautiful!
