Our basement has carpet!

After several late nights, Saturdays, and ridiculous amounts of white powder all over our home... the basement is pretty much DONE. We still have to put on a couple of the outlet covers, but YAY!! Oh, I am so excited to have this extra room. I might be even more excited that I'm done working on it... I can't decide.

Our basement has gone from this...

to this!!

The carpet was done this morning, and Ben has been at work (boo), so he hasn't even seen it yet! Troy was really cute. He was SO excited. He just ran around the room a bunch. I was lucky to get a picture of him kind of holding still.

Liam just wanted mommy. Haha. I got a quick snap while he was crawling towards me.

I had to include this picture of Troy "painting." This is how I kept him busy while I painted. He is such a good little helper!

One last picture of the stairs.

We definitely appreciate this basement, since we did all of the work. I also have a new appreciation for our home and construction workers! It was a good experience, and it was fun to work side by side with Ben so much. I am grateful for the ability to work. But most of all, I am glad it is done right now!
