the basement

So Rick and I made the wonderful decision to finish our basement in November. It was a loooong process, but we worked our butts off and 'finished' it the second week of December. We still have to hang the door and put in the floorboards, but we are in no rush now that it is completely usable. Here are a few pictures of the process...

The first wall that I finished framing just before Thanksgiving.


All framed, time to paint the ceiling....

We painted the ceiling black. Kind of eclectic, much cheaper, and no loss of headroom.

We finished hanging the drywall the day before the carpet was installed. I haven't taken a finished picture yet... But picture this with painted walls and carpeting! :)

I love our basement now, and so do the kids!
