Women Living Space

Making my parents basement home for myself and my two daughters after leaving an abusive marriage. Critiques?
I’m staying in my parents basement with my girls until I finish school. I plan on changing the rugs in the living room and my 4yo’s room, as well as changing the couch, swapping the square couch thing for a coffee table, and sanding the top of the small pink table and giving it a new coat of paint. Are there any other updates I could do to make this space as cozy as possible?

I painted these strawberries to jazz up my lamp 🍓

Saying goodbye to her this month ❤️‍🩹
Moving in with my partner. So thankful for all the ways this home has held me.

My daughter asked for a darker, more mature room for her 10th birthday. She wanted for dark academia/cottagecore as a theme so this is what I came up with.
Last pic is before when we started clearing out her room vs after.

Some after/before pics of my lil' house
I can't get them to go in the right order but you get the idea.

Common questions: It's not real stained glass, it's a vinyl transfer from Etsy.

The fireplace is not painted, it's the original cast iron.

Living room walls are painted with Farrow and Ball Off Black

Kitchen wall is Lick Green 20

Bathoom wall is B&Q Pine Needle

My sanctuary 💚My favorite part of my home!

I was somehow lucky enough to find a rental with a greenhouse! It's a lean-to connected to the house. The ivy and wisteria on the ceiling are fake, everything else is real.

For the 1st time, I spent good hard earned money on…A Trashcan. This is my Trashcan photo shoot! lol 😂 how do you like it?! I’m in love!!!🥰

Bought Grandparents old farmhouse; slowly making it a feminine haven

🌸💕After 15 Years of Homelessness, I finally Have My Own Home!🌸💕
I have up until VERY Recently lived in The Homeless Shelter Graduating their Alcohol and Drug Recovery Program! I have been HORRIBLY Addicted to Alcohol and Began Homelessness at 22 Years Old, I Am now 35.

So for over a DECADE I was either sleeping on the Streets or Staying in Motels and Drinking Vodka Doing Day Labor to Afford it .

3 Years Ago I was lying in A Hospital Bed with Stomach Bleeding and I was Diagnosed with Stage 1 Cirrhosis of the Liver and was told I wouldn't make it to 36 Years Old

I found out About "Project Recovery" Which is the Program I Mentioned Earlier and when I met with The Program Director I got on my Hands and Knees and screamed...

"PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!"...

🌸💕He helped me off the ground and I was accepted into Project Recovery!🌸💕

🌸💕8 Weeks Ago I Was Accepted into Housing after being on a List for Two and a Half Years and I GRADUATED PROJECT RECOVERY THE DAY BEFORE I MOVED INTO MY NEW HOME!!!!🌸💕

I was allowed to stay inside during the day and lay in my bed! Provided you do 4 Hours of Classes EVERY DAY. I have gone through thousands of hours of Recovery and have been Sober for ALMOST Two Years without a DROP of Alcohol!🌸🌸

I finally moved into my New Home 2 Weeks Ago and Shelter Staff and Jessica, My Therapist FULLY FURNISHED MY HOME BASED ON WHAT I POSTED ON PINTEREST!🌸💕

I...AM... FINALLY...HOME!!!!🥰🥰
