One of the (many) reasons posting was pretty sparse in January

J and his dad put down some wood laminate flooring in our basement to cover up the old cracked, holey, duct-taped linoleum.

BEFORE:

 AFTER:

The project is still ongoing since we also put down all-new moulding (which is on now but wasn't at the time I took these before/after pictures). J also painted all the walls--some were still dark wood panelling (you can see it in the back wall in the bottom picture) while others were a dingy scuffed white. It is so much brighter with everything painted.

We're excited to be able to put all the furniture back in place and really start using the space!!!
