Basement Update

Okay, here is where we are at with the basement. Amber and Ashley's rooms are both done. They have carpet, furniture and bedroom doors. They have trim around the doors, but not the floor or windows yet. That will come in the next few weeks. (I need to get started at school and then I will paint in the evenings) The hallway still needs to be painted, I have the paint, and I bought a carpet remnant at Menards to put in the hallway until we can finish off the family room/tv room area of the basement and then carpet the whole room and hallway together. We went ahead and cleaned up the family room/tv room in the basement and have the couch and tv set up so that the kids can use it for now until we are ready to start again. We also converted Amber's old room into Bill's office so that he now has a place to put all things football.




This is the hallway to the girls room. Amber's room is at the end of the hall and Ashley's is on the right. We did put a door on the storeroom hallway/bathroom, since we are not finished with that yet. That way no one has to look at that when they go downstairs to go to bed at night.


Amber's room. This is her new bedspread.


Her desk.


You can see the entrance to her closet on the right. She did not want a closet door. She also wanted it big enough that her dresser could fit inside it.


The inside of her closet. Amber and I put up her closet organizer. She was very excited to get moved in, so she was very willing to help.


Ashley's bed. This picture is a little blurry. Amber took it for me. But you can see the polka dots.


This is her new dresser and mirror. She now has her own spot to put all her picture frames and jewelry box.


This is her closet, minus the doors. They will go up also in a few weeks. It wasn't essential for moving in. You can also see her new bookshelf. She has so many books that we needed to get her one for just her books. This is actually not even big enough. I think she will just have to weed out some more books. Amber also gave her the hermit crabs which made her very happy and they are now living on top of the bookshelf in their tank.

Hopefully this shows what is going on. If you couldn't see all that you wanted, you will just have to come and visit in person and check it out. :)
