Several people have expressed interest in seeing my newly painted/carpeted basement. So, to give you some idea...it used to be a dingy yellow with a tan ceiling and old old brown carpet. It looks much brighter and welcoming now. Thanks to my Mom and Grandma (Sweetie) who helped me paint and chose the carpet. It was fun to do something new to a space I care about :) Sometime soon we will get some more storage for all those girly toys.
