Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

What 3+ year old girl doesn't love "Frozen"? Evelina has really enjoying the music, although she has become afraid of the movie...not surprising. Here is her goofy rendition of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?".

Basement Paint Selection

Floors were laid down yesterday!!  We are really happy with our floor and tile choices. 

And, after much deliberation, we have chosen Shaker Beige by Benjamin Moore for the walls.

Basement Flooring

Final decisions were made on our flooring last week.  We've decided to go a little lighter with the vinyl flooring and have chosen the lighter stained option below (the one on the bottom was our original choice).  We were just worried our original choice would be too dark for the space. 

We also choose a 12"x24" slate-like porcelain tile for the mudroom area. 

When the tiling is complete, it will look similar to the room below.  As much as I loved the herringbone pattern mentioned in my previously post, we thought it would look a little strange up against the vinyl/wood since the width of the tile would have been the same as the vinyl.

Basement Clean Out

I love me some before and after photos!!  This was how we spent the weekend...well, Chris mostly.  The basement has already been transformed and most of the framing was completed today.  Yay!!

 

 

Garage holding what we have left....we can still fit one car since all of the junk on the left has been trashed.

 

Updated Basement Plans

Updated plans for the mudroom bench and storage under the stairs.  Can't wait to see how all of this turns out!!  Work begins on Monday, but our works begins this weekend when we have to clean out the basement...no fun.
