Basement Progress




I know these pics don't show much, but they're the most recent ones I have. And for those of you who are keeping score -- yes, the main room used to be green and, yes, I did repaint it before we even had a single piece of furniture in there (let alone the trim or carpet!). After my woes with paint colors in the basement, I have vowed to never again buy paint sample cans...I'm going back to the way I used to pick out paint -- just by the sample cards you get for FREE. I won't even mention how many cans of sample paint I bought...
Dad's coming over again tomorrow to work with Brad on putting in the trim, doors and casing and doing some other odds and ends, and then the carpet will hopefully be in by mid-September. This does mean that we'll have to start school before the basement is finished (we're starting on Monday), but I'm so looking forward to getting stuff moved in down there and having a designated spot to do school everyday, especially since this is the first year we're "official" (have to register with the state and complete a certain number of hours of schooling).
Thanks to all who've helped with advice and thanks a million to Dad for doing everything he's done (which is practically everything)!
