I bet you have boxes of Cargokids sample sale stuff in there.<br /><br />I want a basement! My friend in Georgia has one and it's like they have a whole extra house beneath their upstairs. The ground where we live is solid rock so I don't think it was ever an option for us.<br /><br />Keep the Santa and pass it on to one of your kids some day.Malindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646989797221249628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-8594604110151399222009-07-01T16:25:20.330-05:002009-07-01T16:25:20.330-05:00geez-looks like my guest room-I can barely get the...geez-looks like my guest room-I can barely get the door open.

Darin still has books from undergrad that he REFUSES to get rid of. I am talking about Chemistry and Biology books--when is he EVER going to read those. At least you are willing to take the time to go through and organize these treasures. You definitely need to keep the furniture until you purchase your next home--they are all so different and you never know what will or will not fitmerrileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740476994507030253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-72751715247221765362009-07-01T11:53:00.829-05:002009-07-01T11:53:00.829-05:00Ewww...colored lights?

We move a lot! Plus, our clothes don't fit in our house.....all of Lainey's big girl furniture is in there......and I'm at a loss for the counterstool/barstool decision. We have both. And, all houses require one or the other usually. Doesn't it make sense to keep both?<br /><br />Second, Santa stays! I'm over "fancy" Christmas. I do have some nice pieces, but have been leaning more towards kid stuff. We even have colored lights on one of our trees!!!!!

Now, I know some may see it as being rude to call a dear friend's decor tacky...but your decor is not tacky...only that HORRIBLE Santa! How do you not have nightmares with him living below you? <br /><br /><br />Basement looks great! I wish we had one. BUT, in our new house it has a walk in attic! I LOVE IT! Ryan had to floor more of it and it is my territory. Anything that goes in there, I put in there. And nothing gets taken out unless I say so. Ryan doesn't mind and I know exactly where everything is!<br /><br />Can I come and use your beverage cups? I'm sure we could find SOMETHING to use them for!Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-71844702423449680042009-07-01T10:27:59.273-05:002009-07-01T10:27:59.273-05:00Love Blake's notes and I would have to agree w...Love Blake's notes and I would have to agree with Kelly! As someone without a basement (soil is too hard in the desert) and a born purger I really try to keep only the things we use. Drives Mr. ESPN nuts at times - he comes from a family of pack rats! I am training him though and he is getting better! Maybe we can borrow Blake and he can explain the virtues of purging and donating!donatelli98https://www.blogger.com/profile/00369553422991011282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-34653452985061192582009-07-01T10:13:10.725-05:002009-07-01T10:13:10.725-05:00Love the notes from Blake.

But, it all has to do with the soil make up, I believe. <br /><br />Hush, Kelly! I told you....we use it all!<br /><br />Dee....we have a finished basement, too. This is the unfinished part, used for storage. Now ours is not decked out with flat screens and a bar, but instead, lots of toys and a bookshelf. Guess that's not the same. :)starnes familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323598340420309572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-3909180377282417432009-07-01T07:50:03.103-05:002009-07-01T07:50:03.103-05:00At least that stuff is in boxes...otherwise I'...At least that stuff is in boxes...otherwise I'd be tempted to call you a hoarder.Kelly Beattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-20413787648165816682009-07-01T07:47:44.922-05:002009-07-01T07:47:44.922-05:00I would love to have a basement.

They're turned into official 'man' lands..flat screens with projectors for FB watching, a bar, WII and maybe a karaoke machine.<br />So sweet that Lainey hugged Santa. I'm happy he won't be coming anytime soon though.Dee Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331597452382575978noreply@blogger.com
