Finished Basement

I actually didn't think this day was ever going to come. We paid the basement guy June 1st and he started the last week of June. Fast forward 16 weeks and we are FINALLY done. Many texts, voicemails and conversations with Doug to light the fire under him but now I can forget his name and his number and enjoy the space with my family.

 I stained the hand rail- love the dark "ebony" color I chose.

 The little shelf above the toilet Raymond made using left over wood from the base of the railing. Cute place to keep extra toilet paper, cotton balls and Q-tips for when guests are in town.

 Curtain and rings bought at Target

 Shower head is by Moen (Aunt Jeanie will be proud) it is the Ashville collection. Accent tile is "excalibur", color winter fjord.

Love the floor. It is porcelain tile that looks like wood tiles, we got 3x36 inch Rainforest Dew. White cabinet was a splurge with soft close drawers and real wood through out. Countertop was a pain. I didn't know prices could very so much for a remnant.  The top is made by HanStone. I wanted "Aurora Snow" but after searching around I found this similar hanstone I think its "swan cotton" for $149 including the sink and fabrication.

The only part of the basement that has furniture for the moment.

Fall Break

The boys have been on fall break sense Thursday. Conferences went well and the only surprising news I heard from a teacher was that Ryan is chatty, I suppose if you don't get a word in at home you express your inner thoughts at Preschool.

Yesterday I took the boys to Colorado Pumpkin Patch in Larsburg.  Cute, bouncy pillow, hay bails, very Harvest/October Fest.

Connor is 6!

The day was wrapped up with 22 kindergarteners at our rec center celebrating Connor.
