Making over our basement into a good hang out space

Guest post written by Nicole Waterson

I guess that one thing I kind of worry about is my teenagers not having a safe place to hang out with their friends when they want to. Because of that, I like to let them invite their friends over often because I feel much safer with them under my watch. Our house doesn't have a good area for them to do that in though, so I decided to make one out of our unfinished basement.

I looked online to see if I could find a good tip or two about how to make a good hang out space for teenagers. That's when I ran across some info on HOME PRO IMPROVEMENT and after I looked through it some, I decided to use them to replace our roofing. My husband's been shopping around for someone to do that forever anyway. 

But I also found some good resources on how to make over our basement. I decided to paint the walls a light gray to make it look more modern than the current beige color. Plus I bought some slipcovers with geometric designs on them to put over our old couches. I think they were pretty impressed by what I did with the space!
