I’m still here!

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I posted. And It’s been a crazy month. In September we had a contractor re-finish our basement. It was finished when we bought the house, but the following spring we started having issues with a lot of water in the basement and we had to tear out a bunch of stuff. We finally fixed those problems (we hope for good!) in August so we could redo the basement. I’m planning to move my craft room down there, and we’ll also have space for doing games and puzzles and hopefully a little storage. Of course we have to move furniture and things back downstairs, and I’m not exactly sure when that will happen because now we’re in the middle of our family birthday month. Whew.

All that to say I haven’t been doing much crafting lately, so I haven’t had anything to post. But this weekend is the annual craft weekend with my friend Lisa, so I hope to have some things to share next week. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of our “new” basement. I’ll share more photos when we have everything set up.

The area one the right is a hallway/storage area that goes to our utility room. It’s just a concrete floor, but when the painter added some flecks of color to the paint. It’s sparkly!

When we moved all the furniture upstairs, this chair didn’t fit through the back door unless we took off the door. (We had to move everything up the stairs, out the back door, around the house and then back in the front door.). So we decided this chair (covered to keep off the construction dust) will just live downstairs.

We do still need to finish the stairs. We have to choose carpet and get it installed. But since they’re usable as is, we didn’t worry about finishing that right away.

We’re really happy with how everything turned out. The basement is definitely the nicest room in our house now. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
