It's done, it's done, it's done! Can you tell I'm excited?! It's finally done! Our blank-canvas of an unfinished basement has been given a brand new look! Gone are the cinder blocks and cold concrete floor. Hello year-round space! Work started on September 21st and the last pieces of trim were installed on November 16th. If it weren't for some delays on getting the right pieces (we have strangely sized doors, apparently), it would have been done a few weeks earlier.
While we might be missing some wall art (it's so hard deciding where to put things when you can do anything!) and some furniture pieces, all the contractor's work is done and the rest is up to us.
Fun fact - before they put down the flooring, I traced each of our hands and put the date on the concrete by the stairs. Our own little time capsule to be discovered when we swap out the carpeting.
Here are some pictures of the transformation:
