operation back to work

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated.  Amazing how fast time seems to go.  It is already June and we have now been living in the basement for fourteen months.  Yep, just our one room basement!  Well tonight, my husband and I will sleep in our own room for the first time!  YEAH!!!!!  It has been a long time coming but it is finally here.  It is going to be beautiful!  We decided to go with pink and black with a little bit of brass so we could work around the bathtub.  The ceiling will be tongue and grove wood antiqued white. The walls are done and you will see below the stripes that I painted this week.  I have never painted anything like that and especially on textured walls.  So off to the internet I went to get some directions.  Wow did I ever get a great site.  I will have to say that I was surprised myself at how well it turned out.  The lines are very clean and strait. We have painted the floors until we get the rest of the house done and then we will lay carpet.  We have put up guttering and it seems as if that has stopped all leaks into the basement which has made for a very dry spring...yipee!  Little things are so awesome in this renovation project.  Here are a few photos for now.  Hopefully I will get back into the habit of updating this site again.
