Let There Be Light...And Paint

{Carter's bedroom light}

It's been a while since I updated on the progress of our favorite ongoing project. Our basement!

This summer we {and by we I mean...mostly Christian} painted the whole thing. I will say, being 6'7" really has an advantage when painting a ceiling. I wish I would've taken a few pictures of him standing flat footed on the ground, rolling out the ceiling. It was great.

We just copied the light fixtures and paint colors from upstairs, so we can't take much credit for being original, but we sure do like how it turned out. Christian's friend Paul helped him finish up the wiring, along with the tying-into-the-breaker-electrical-business, and we are happy that ALL lights and plugs work fantastically!

Stay tuned for the next super duper exciting installment entitled...Trim, Closets, Doors, and Carpet. There may even be some action shots of us moving "stuff" from the garage and down into the basement. And possibly maybe even furniture...not sure on that one yet!
