Well for over a year we've been slowly finishing the basement as we saved up the funds...and once we got the sheetrock up it really snowballed from there! I'm SOOO excited to have a place for the kids to play and an office for the desktop/craft stuff. We will also have another bedroom and bathroom down there so that guests can be a little more comfortable and eventually when Kaden is older he can move down there. Just doing the painting and trim has really added a lot (Tyler did a great job with that and has worked so hard! Thanks honey!) and Tyler's dad was kind enough to come and install all of the tile around the fireplace and hearth so it looks great! In a couple of weeks the carpet will be installed. We are hoping we will get to spend Christmas Eve down there together watching movies and cuddling in front of the fire!
Here's a pic of the west end of the family room- the closets will house blankets, games in one and all the dvd/speaker components in the other. It's all prewired with some conduit so the cords can go through the walls to the TV/speakers.
A close-up of the fireplace/'cubbies' I'm not sure what will go in there yet, probably decorative stuff or shelves. What would you put in there?
The East end has double doors into the office and there's a playroom under the stairs next to the bathroom (on the South wall). I'll post more pics when carpet is down. Thanks everybody who has helped us out on this 'little project' we are so grateful! We have also been really lucky to have met and worked with some great guys whom we would definitely recommend for sheet-rocking, plumbing, custom doors, electrical, etc. if you're interested- :)

That looks great! You will love having a place to send your kids. There are days when I send my kids to their play room and then I get so used to upstairs being quiet and clean that I make them eat lunch and take naps down there too:) The best part is now my living room is ALWAYS clean!
It looks so good. Can't wait to see when it's all finished.
It looks fantastic!! You guys have done a great job.
That's sooo funny; we've been finishing part of our basement too! :) Yours looks awesome! We picked just a little lighter brown for the walls. It's our laundry/bathroom that we're doing. It's going to be a beach theme. :) As for your cubbies...I think they look like perfect little places for the kids to hide. I would dare say you'll have plenty of that. :) LOL
sooooo Jealous! I love it. I really want your list of recommendations!
it's looking great! i'm glad to have had a little hand in it's completion (swaping out those breakers was quite the "trip") :-)
Great job guys!
@kevin- hahaha, thanks for your help, it was crucial in the whole process...without it we would not have passed inspection!
