LIVING IN A DUST BOWL

so excited!!!! ... just wanted to say before i post the pictures of the totally dry walled basement i came home today to a gigantic hole in the roof ... which means the bathroom dormer is being put in ... we are so lucky to have j's faithful happy helpers up this weekend and we have the privilege of a guest carpenter who is one of the most fabulous and talented builders we know ... i have only been home for about an hour and a bit and there is major progress already ... definitely more to come on this project

to tide you over until i can get in to snap some pics here is the basement all sealed up with dry wall and ready for the next yucky stage of taping and mudding ... our dry waller was fantastic ... he came in the evenings and for most of it worked by himself and he had this done in a matter of 3 evenings!!!

now that we have cleaned up the dust (side note ... anyone who renovates knows that no matter how careful you are the dust gets everywhere and it takes forever to get out of all the nooks and corners) ... anyways we cleaned the entire house and here is what has happened

now when i look downstairs this is what i see :)

welcome to the basement ...
love the open stairwell

the landing in the basement


the bathroom and the lovely
now level shower ...
so glad that the green board
gets covered up :)

the laundry and freezer room

the wall above the washer and dryer ...
definitely want to hang some shelves and a rod above here

the cozy guest bedroom

the spacious closet ...
is it sad that the guest bedroom
has a bigger closet
than the one that we have right now

the area for the future gym

the cozy living room


our last little inch of space used ...
our under the stair storage

can't wait to get to the painting stage ...

cheers ~n
