Basement Update - June

Here is the basement update for June and we have carpet!

With carpet coming soon we moved upstairs to do a little touch up paint.

Here we are patching a few spots where the screw was bumped out from the wall.

 

It looks so good upstairs with a fresh coat of paint in a few places that really needed it.

Here is the basement, all ready for carpet.

Here are some upstairs before pictures. Yes- the carpet is so bad. You can see right where the rugs/couches are.

And here is the finished carpet upstairs and downstairs. 

We moved the grey couches into the family room and the blue couches down to the basement. 

 Walking down to the basement with carpet the first time felt amazing! It feels so different to walk down and have it feel like a room and be ready to play.

Here is awesome working on drilling into wood. He loves building and really enjoys figuring things out.

Here are some pictures from the basement, which immediately became the kids favorite place to play.

Lydia did an instructional video about working out. You can see my picture of recording her workout. The little camera that we were using is not very easy to hear the playback and so I told Lydia to be loud if she wanted to hear it when she watched it and she made a sign to remind herself and then the schedule of what she is going to demonstrate. So so cute.

The kids set up a kitchen under the stairs. 

Here it is with things set up downstairs. You can see Lydia already built a fort next to the couch.

The basement looks amazing. We just have a few more things left (yes- it always seems to be that way). We need to put on door handles. Also, the doors are too low and so we need to trim the bottom and sand the sides so they close correctly after being painted. However, the kids can play down there and that makes it so nice. We love having the space for the kids and it has turned out really great.
