Okay, for those of you who did NOT see our basement when we moved in, let me tall ya, it looked NOTHING like this! It was full of horrible kitchen cabinets, with a rotten old carpet on the floor and strange, garrish stenciling on the walls. We used it for storage and could barely walk to the laundry room thru the mess.
Well, this is our "new" basement -- we started remodeling during my maternity leave, and Nathan, (my wonderful, handy husband!!) did all the work repainting, putting up new trim, leveling the concrete floor and putting down pergo-type flooring. Then we bought a new desk set, complete with iMac ... and also a futon, for guests to sleep when we have company ... and Whaala! A fully functional guest room/office/second living room! All we have left to do is finish the new ceiling and maybe buy a bookshelf or two!
We're super pleased with the results, and Nate finished up a lot of the electrical work down there this weekend, so I was able to supervise the hanging of the mirrors and such. (finishing touches etc.) It's so much fun nesting in a brand new room!! Now if we can just keep Roxy off the futon ...
