Stephanie Nielson
NieNie is an inspiration to us all. We love her blog and find her to be one of today’s most inspirational women! I admire so much her grace and courage to be alive and inspiring through so much discomfort – and change. Not being able to recognize your own exterior would be one of the toughest challenges you could face as a woman… and let me say, after spending a little time with her, Stephanie is the most beautiful woman in the world!
We approached Steph several months back to see if we could brighten a space in her home that she needs help with. There were two areas that she showed us, a basement family room, and an old basement kitchen turned playroom.
We went to work on the space planning – moving this and moving that would give her better use of the space. A new sectional, a charming little occasional chair, use her existing rug…. new lighting, moving the t.v. to the other wall will open up the room, custom Roman shades on the door and window, a little more of this and that… and cabinetry!
For cabinetry, we called on Magleby’s! We are so excited to do this project with them. They are the best! As to not completely overwhelm them, we are splitting the project into two phases.
In round one, they will be building out the back wall in the Family Room. White built-in shelving with lower cabinets complete with a little built-in bench in the middle to snuggle into and read. The cabinets will be installed this Thursday! And the furniture will go in (fingers crossed) on Friday! Stay tuned this week as we show you the progress.
It has been hard to keep a lid on the excitement! We’re so excited this week is FINALLY here!
We envision it all turning out like this!

Beautiful room for a beautiful family. Her spirit inspires me to be a better person every day.
Happy for Stephanie and her family!
I love EVERY pillow! Inspiring design for an inspiring lady.
I adore and admire Stephanie’s courage and acceptance through her whole ordeal. She is truly a wonderful person who has brought so much to each qne every one of her followers. I am so happy that you are doing this for the one who gives so much of herself for others.
Thank you so much for doing what we’d all like to do…give Stephanie a wonderful gift to help her keep her spirits up. I know she’s strong, but it has to be a daunting task to keep your chin up every day when you are living what she is dealing with on a daily basis. Now…a beautiful gift for our beautiful girl!!!
I LOVE this!!! What it must mean to Stephanie to have this amazing transformation in her own home. To want something and to make it happen are two different things. You made it happen!! Stephanie is the most amazing women to walk the face of this earth. With her determination and streangh and day to day trials, she is an “EXAMPLE” and inspriration to all of us!! Thanks
I just want to say that it was a pleasure working with Alice Lane and the Nielsen Family on phase one of this project…I am the “cabinet guy”. Hopefully when I catch up on some sleep and all the loose ends of my day job we will be able to start phase 2! I was a one man band from start to finish except for a few hours help on the install from a friend of mine and few very late hours of help from my sweetheart on the finish…which, by the way, turned out super silky smooth! It truly was a pleasure to be a part of this project and to work with the great people (super hip ladies) from Alice Lane. cheers!
Hi! I love so much the cloth you’ve used for the curtains. Could you please tell where it comes from? Thank you!
[...] Over the past year, along with the good folks at Alice Lane Home Collection, Magleby Construction helped remodel the Nelson’s basement. It’s been a true pleasure taking part in the project. You can read about Phase I here. [...]
