basement construction

This is one of the big excuses I have for not blogging in months (and the pregnancy, and the three kids, and summer time, and lack of desire, and...I could go on and on, but you get the point.)  We've been finishing our basement and towards the end it was consuming a ton of my time...decisions, decisions, decisions.  Here are some of the pictures we took during the process.  We decided to do a stained concrete floor and we were super nervous about it, but in the end it turned out AMAZING...we absolutely love it!  More pictures of the completed basement to come...
