The Basement, Again

After a long break from the basement project, Jason got to work putting up the shelves. When Grandpa Jim came, the job went a little faster. We still need to build the cupboard doors over the shelves, but we wanted Jim to help Jason get the future guest room ready so we can change around some furniture.

Victoria really wanted a bedroom makeover for Christmas, so that was her main gift, but of course it didn't happen before Christmas. We finally got to work on it the last week of the break. It also helped having the shelves up so we could put a bunch of stuff on them and get them out of the way. She wanted to downsize her bed, so Karissa will get her old bunk bed and we will put the queen size guest bed in our new basement guest room, when it's ready.

Hard at work!

My long awaited shelves! 

Jason and Jim stripped the floor in the guest room and built up the cement around the drain so it wouldn't be too lopsided for the furniture. We plan to put new carpeting there.

The walls are just about done!

We painted Victoria's room and she got this new bed. She has been collecting new decorations for a while. 

I covered the chair in  the corner to match the closet curtains.She's just waiting for a dresser to be next to where I stood for the first picture.

We still have a ways to go, but our home is finally getting back to normal after about a year of stuff being shoved in weird places. Hooray!
