Aiden's Room Re-Do





















Now I just need to re-paint the dresser and nightstand from red to cream. Yay.









Living Room Revamp

The living room is 90% finished! I just need to create an upholstered cushion for my old army cot and I will have an awesome coffee table!



Re-upholstered antique loveseat (remember the hideous green floral couch and chair set I blogged about a while back? Well here she is again after some major surgery).


And here is her kick-butt partner! Love how the set turned out. Though I don't think I would ever have something reupholstered again. It was FAR more expensive than I thought it was going to be and a few unforseen circumstances (like a broken bit of frame and the need to replace all of the foam backing inside the couch) only added to the price tag. That said, I am still really happy with the end result.



Here is the set all together. Now I just need to start hunting down accessories. (Hears husband scream "nooo!" somewhere in the distance.)






Basement Progress
We are in the final stretch of finshing up the basement. It has been a long time coming—two years. But here it is....

Here is a look back at what we went through....

During this whole process, the kids were like this....



and Tyson was like this....



But it was worth it (?) We finally have 3 more rooms for the kids to run wild in. We desperately needed it seeing as last winter around this time we were so cramped together we were ready to strangle each other.
