basement complete!

I won't feel like the basement is complete until it's all decorated and the few odds & ends we need to tie up are done.  HOWEVER, we do have a functional basement that we love.  The boys love their new room.  Tim loves his new tv, sound system and set up downstairs.  We all love the comfy recliner couches.  I love that I have my storage room back.  It was not even functional during construction.  I love that my kids disappear downstairs and my house upstairs is completely silent.  It's so nice having the extra space.  I love how everything turned out and I couldn't be happier...although I could definitely use some better pictures (Clint, can you help me with that?).  Again, these were taken with my iphone for purposes of getting this blog updated quickly.  I apologize for the horrible quality, but you get the point!  

Who's coming over for movie night?

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...
