Remodel

We spent a lot of time in our basement when we lived in Wichita.  The basement in our house here in Olathe has never given us a sense of homeyness.  It has been very choppy and there is not enough room in any specific place to "hang out" or entertain.  It has been good for company to have a place to stay and the girls have enjoyed spreading their toys from one corner to another.  But, we want to be able to enjoy the area a lot more...so, we did a little remodeling project.
The View From The Stairs...
Before: looking into the doorway of the bedroom.
After:  looking into the living area that was the bedroom.
The new living area...
Before:  this is where we had a lot of toys and a bumper pool table
After:  the bar area
Before:  looking into the area we called our entertainment area.
After:  I will fill this corner with a scrapbooking area.  On the other side of the wall is the new bedroom.
Before:  Our entertainment area.
After:  The bedroom
The bedroom closet.
We are thrilled with out it turned out.  We have spent more time down in our basement than we ever did before.  We are excited to spend hot summer evenings in our cool basement.

Nice! Hope you're still taking visitors... Lance and Alayna may be attending camp in KC this summer, and Liam and I might tag along if we have a place to stay. :) I'll let you know when I know dates.
