Gooners!
A few weekends ago we decided to get to work on the basement and put it baseboards. I still have finished my job of sanding them down and touching up with paint, but it is looking better! And I actually want to be in the basement now. Now we just need family to come visit to see our work!:)
My scanner is being lame, so later I'll post some pics of how the upstairs looked before we got to work. Its been fun to have our house and work on it to make it ours! There are 5 bedrooms, 2 baths up, 1 roughed in bath down (one day), and we actually have 2 living/family rooms instead of 1 as before and a garage. We are loving it!
Actually, its sad. The power went out today, and since I've never had a garage of my own, I freaked out thinking I couldn't drive the car today because it was stuck in the garage and the door wouldn't open. I called Mike and he set me straight quick. Whoops! I rely so much on the lazy man's way, I don't think about the hard way:) So I just left the garage door open after we left because why would I want to get out and shut it, then open it again when I got back?? :)
Some pictures of the basement before:
And the basement after:
I love my purple room! I'm so happy Mike suggested it, let alone gave me permission. Thank you so much! We got new couches too. It took forever, but I finally found my perfect purple pillows.
As you can see, Lincoln is in almost every picture. He followed me everywhere. I'm sure he's so tired. He looks so precious. (And he loves green apples)
I love how open the room is. I'm not sure what will be on this side, but I'm sure something will find its place there.
Don't mind the mess! Still not finished, but progress!
This room is a storage room with some shelves and a utility sink. It will be great for future, but it is so dirty I haven't stomached myself to clean it yet. I like a clean house, so I just pretend it doesn't even exist yet:) But I think I will love it when it is clean!
Down the hall to 2 bedrooms and unfinished bathroom
This is the back room, soon to the guest bedroom. We had to move everything away from the walls. This is my project before we get visitors!
Quoi loves to feed Mickey and her animals. She is a wonderful cook!:)
The other room downstairs is now the toy room/computer room. It will be a while before I get around to decorating this room, but one day.
She is going to be a great Mommy:)
Pictures of half of the house upstairs (bedrooms and outside to come):
The front entryway, front door to right, garage door to left. I usually am not a fan of split levels, but I love this one! There is plenty of room so you don't feel crammed when you walk in (there is more area behind wall to left)
View from front entryway.
Down the hall to our 3 bedrooms upstairs, bathrooms and laundry room the area to the first right.
The kid's frog bathroom that they love. Lincoln jumping! He totally looks like his cousin Logan!
The kitchen. I love all the counter space. Just not a fan of the green counter tops, and the green carpet too!
The living room
(I hope I can post the pictures of the house before! Yellow and green walls! I really like the gray tones compared!)
The way the house looks when I want to take a picture...

At least they are cute! Lincoln is into pillow fights right now.
I know this area is ugly! There is a small doorway area connected to the toy room downstairs. It was one of my favorite things about the house! If you go in through the hole on the right...
we have this area. There is so much storage space down here!
It would have been super cool to finish it and make it a kid's play area, but I think I like having a storage area more:)
Quoi is reading to monkey:)
Painting turned into body painting. I put them in here so I didn't have to stress (as much:)
They really are so silly!
There was a storm outside. After wondering what happened to Mike, I found him enjoying it:)

This is what happens to the play dough when Mommy walks away for 2 minutes.

The house looks great and it looks like you have already been hard at work making it your own. The kids are as cute as ever. You are a good mom letting them do that painting/body painting wow that would have even stressed me out in the tub :)
Holy cow your house is gorgeous!!! And your kids sure are adorable too. Sure miss ya :)
we have purple walls too with matching purple couches. It's a little too much purple for my liking. Your house looks AMAZING!
