We have been remodeling for about six months now and I guess it's probably time to put up some pictures of our living arrangements. It's not too shabby, but I'll be honest I'm getting a little sick of our one bedroom apartment down here. Oh and did I mention I don't have a DISHWASHER!!!
Here is our kitchen, it is really nice and actually has quite a bit of storage. The basement was finished about 8 years ago and was done really nice so all we did was clean the carpets and paint. But really I might be willing to pay people to come clean my dishes, or do some favors, really anything. If you ever come over you are pretty much guaranteed to see dirty dishes in the sink.

So my camera sucks and I need a new one (all of you photographer friends no judging please) But this is the another view of the kitchen from the living room area. The lovely green pool table aka kitchen table, is where we like to eat or put junk whatever happens at the time! And those cabinets you see act as my pantry, its pretty snazzy!

This is our living room area. It's quite nice, you can watch a movie from pretty much anywhere in the basement. If Bennett wakes up too early I put in a movie and go back to bed and I'm only 15 feet away from him. I actually will miss that when we move back upstairs.

Turn the corner and here is our bedroom. Yep that's right folks our bedroom is in plain sight of everything else. Oh and this is how it looks most the time (minus the husband sleeping on the bed) Dirty laundry, crap piled up places and bed unmade. That's how I role these days. Do you see all of those doors, most of them are nice big closets. I don't think I could have made it down here without them! Oh and Brynn sleeps in her pack 'n' play right next to the bed. One big happy family:)

This is Kambri and Bennett's room. It was meant to be a game room so there are two entrances, one right when you walk down the stairs and the other on the other side of the basement. And it doesn't have any windows so it gets really dark and Bennett will normally sleep in, bonus! They are doing a lot better at sharing a room than I thought. I think Bennett will have a hard time having his own room when we move upstairs. We finally took the front off of Bennett's crib and turned it into a toddler bed. I was scared to do it, but he is doing awesome at staying in his bed at night. When he gets in trouble I put him on his bed and he will sit there and yell, "I want to get out" It's hilarious because he has the mentality still that he is still stuck in there, too funny!

Here is the kid's closet. It is a total mess (try fitting three kid's crap into one closet) But I do love the shelves and drawers. I love how all of the closets are made and this is how we are doing them upstairs.
There you have it, our life in the basement! Total chaos, mess, not organized, and usually stuff everywhere. One day my life will get back to normal!

Man, i love your basement!
That is a nice basement. I love how honest you are. I would HATE washing dishes! It's always been something I've hated, I'll wait until the next load than wash dishes. Sorry, when will the upstairs be done?
the basement is great! but i am sure you are getting ready to have it all finished and move upstairs:) and washing dishes by hand..boo! have a great weekend friend:)
That is the one part of your house I didn't when I came. Your bro was living down there and had just had their baby. Looks like you guys are one big happy family just like you said:) It will get done soon though and then you will miss the snuggling with the fam!
I've been in that basement, I'm impressed you are making it work and actually living down there! I hope the upstairs is finished soon for your sanity's sake! ha ha Glad you got to meet my darling nephew Cade, he's pretty fun, and I love my sister too! :)
I love your basement. Your kids closet is the size of all mine put together. I can't wait to see the upstairs. Hopefully we can visit and i can see it in person :)
It will be so fun to be finished! it looks great so far, I want to come see it soon!
Wow...what a woman hand washing all those dishes!! How much longer till the upstairs is finished? I'm sure it will be well worth the wait:)
HOW funny is this?? I totally dreamed last night that I was at your house with Jake Martineau. We were getting a tour of all your updates. He was totally cool with you living there and we were really impressed with how good it looked. Weird right! :)
I will have to get a tour sometime in real life and see if it looks anything like I pictured! Ha.
Have a great week.
P.S. I agree with the "doing dishes by hand" it is the worst! Thank heaven for dishwashers!!
