Basement... it is finished!

Our basement is finished. Actually, we're waiting on our glass door for the shower to arrive, but after that, we. are. done. It's awesome. It's so nice to go downstairs and relax in the space we built! We moved all our furniture from upstairs down and this the one place in the house that feels complete. AHHHH, I feels so good! Here are some photos with the furniture in it.

That big blob in the corner is a Lovesac. We LOVE this thing. I huge thanks goes out to our friend Rachael for giving us this awesome piece of furniture, to Pat for hauling it from Colorado to Texas for us, and my parents for driving it up from Texas to MN. It obviously was quite the process to get it to our home, but once you sit on it, you'll understand WHY it was worth it!

Bathroom vanity and mirror - it's a terrible
picture so if you want to really see it,
come visit! ;)

For now, we have a shower curtain up so the shower
 is usable.

My next project is to refinish the hardwood floors upstairs. Remember our hardwood floors under the hideous carpet? When we pulled up the carpet we showed you this picture.

After cleaning them, our floors looked like this:

Notice the traffic patterns??? Hopefully my next day off I'll be renting a sander and making these floors beautiful again! Once they're finished we'll purchase furniture for this space and one more room will be done! I'm debating about staining the floors because they're a "blonde" color and I'd like them to be a little darker. Any thoughts??? 

See Nym in the picture on the left? Greg made a little stand for her to sit on. She sits on that thing for HOURS monitoring the neighborhood. It's really cute. Often we can't get her down from there because she just likes to see what's going on outside! She is very protective of her home :) Well that's it guys! SLowly but surely we are getting there! These HGTV shows make this process look WAAAAAY easier than what it actually is.
