We've finally got our basement project about 90% completed - just in time for Jess to move in last Saturday. It feels good to finally be wrapping up this little project that has seemed to go on forever.
Here's a reminder of what the family room looked like in all of it's hideousness before (taken just when we started preparing for our new flooring):
And here's some of the "afters"
Isn't this such a cute little area rug? We purchased it last spring at the Maple Bluff neighborhood garage sale for just $5.00. It doesn't look like it's ever been used! At the time I wasn't sure where we could put it, but I think it looks nice in this space.
The other part of the family room. You can't really see the cute light hanging about the chair very good, but it's something that we purchased a few years when we bought our first house back in St. Louis. I think we paid around $7 for it at Ikea, but it never ended up looking good in our old place, so never went to use. We were looking for some more light for this area when I remembered that we had this somewhere in a box in the garage. I think finding it was the hardest part!
The curtains aren't my favorite, but we needed some curtains in this room badly and I found them for super cheap at Target (I think they cost around $3.50) a few months back and figured they would work until I found another steal that would do the trick.
And yet the other part of the family room, where the stairs lead up to the kitchen. Not to exciting.
Steve actually had to reminded me to take pictures of our finished project (I think he's just mostly glad that he's done with all the hard work!). While I was taking pictures of the family room he reminded me that I hadn't taken pictures of the closet in the guest room (borrrrinng!) and wanted me to take another picture of the bathroom. I'll spare you the boring closet, but just for Steve here's a picture of the bathroom from afar.
Next project......baby's room!

Looks so good! The rug is super cute and I think you're right - it looks like it's never been used! Score on that one! Everything looks so homey and warm! Can't wait to see what happens in the baby's room!
