We are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel....or at least in our window wells. During our downstairs build-out/remodel, we decided that the window wells needed some love too.
We went to such lengths with every detail on the interior of the new areas that we just couldn't take the sight of our window wells ruining the views.
My husband obsessive-bee in the bonnet-contractor researched and researched what our options could be in these wells. He found a company that makes custom window well cover liners and that's all it took to start this train.
After much patience, time, measuring and re-measuring, we were up and running. I think he had more fun accessorizing the bottoms to coordinate with the decorative liners more than anything. Needless to say, there were many trips to our local stone yard, Lowes, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. The results were awesome!
"Before" all the lower level window wells.
The golf themed window (because of course)...and yes that is an actual golf ball we added as accessory.
So perfect for our game and movie room areas.
Up next, the "Aspen Suite".
I actually had to rummage through a local wood yard to find small pieces of Aspen and Birch trees.
And finally, the "Lodge Room".
My favorite piece is the tiny little canoe I purchased for "on the bank" of the creek.
That my friends, is our new window well reveal and we are so thrilled with how all of the windows turned out to coordinate with their rooms.
Since this took more time than we expected, I obviously have needed quick go-to dinners. This pizza was amazing! I love how the pear and basil just popped with freshness in every bite. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
1 ready made pizza crust (we used Caulipower plain pizza crust)
pinch of ground black pepper
pinch of salt

1 bartlett pear, thinly sliced
6 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
3 ounces crumbled goat cheese
6 ounces Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced into thin ribbons
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
On a large sheet pan, cover with parchment paper. Place pizza crust on pan. Brush top of crust evenly with drizzle of olive oil and brush oil to cover. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Layer pears, mozzarella, goat cheese, cooked Italian sausage and crushed garlic over pizza.
Bake 11-14 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle basil ribbons over pizza. Slice and serve warm.
