Over here in our little neck of the woods, the P family (rather the hubby) has been fervently remodeling the basement in preparation for little Baby P #2 whom will be arriving in about 2 short months. Actually it's a means to an ends because we had to finish our basement in order to move our "office" so that Baby P #2 would have a room.
Hubby J (and the father-in-law) have done a beautiful job downstairs and I am soooooo excited because we are installing the carpet this week. Whoooo-hooo. For all practical purposes that means the basement will be finished! I will have to do a big reveal for you all including some before shots to give you the full effect.
That will lead us (rather the hubby) to project #2 - the nursey. We're planning on doing a job to enlarge a closet and some painting to freshen it up a bit. I'm afraid to commit too much in the decorating department since we don't know the gender of the baby. I plan to decorate appropriately in a year or two when we hit toddlerhood - again. I'm also on the hunt for a dresser which will double as a changing table. It's turning into kind of a pain in the butt because #1 I'm cheap but don't want cheap quality and #2 I am searching for a light pine or maple finish while the rest of the world is apparently only buying cherry wood.
I'll keep you posted for the big basement reveal where you'll see the P family's basement go from disgusting to dynamic.
Have you checked Value City Furniture (used to be American Heritage Furniture, the old Target building)? They have really nice stuff and very reasonable. I got our dining room table and that kitchen cart there. It's not nasty like the old Value City Furniture. Good luck hunting! Can't wait to see the big unveiling.
