Making progress on our play/craft/exercise room in the basement.
Every project needs an extra special helper.
Somebody who knows how to measure.
Being dressed appropriately is a definite plus!
Lights are in and the ceiling is up.
That's a lot of chiefs.
Good thing they all love each other.
Realized we needed to give the cement wall a glossy look.
Finally the girls got a turn to paint.
Letting the perfectionist in me take a
vacation meant some very happy girls.
We will finish mudding, priming, and painting.
Roll out the carpet.
Mount the craft desk.
An interesting thought came to me this week. I have wanted to make this room happen for awhile but honestly until now, I don't think my kids were ready to be on a different floor than me without supervision. What a wonderful relief it is to get to the place where they can be on their own playing and crafting with out safety issues popping up. It was a lot of hard parenting work that is paying off big time now!
Also, I am excited to be able to have a little more privacy in my house if we wanted to have an adult gathering or Bible study, or even a big kid party, etc. We haven't had a place for everyone else to go if we wanted to host a group of people. Not that hospitality is my "gift" but we sure want to open our door more if we can.
it looks wonderful so far!!!! next stop the wilkinsons??? :)
