We feel so blessed to have so many great friends and family to pitch in and help. We had invited Kristen and her family to spend the holiday with us in our UNFINISHED basement. In hopes that it would be the motivation we needed to get it done. How hard could one bedroom and bath be?!?!?!?!? ha ha ha... well, with early mornings, late nights, and apparently a unlimited source of $$ (NOT!)we managed to turn this SECTION of the basement from Chaos to Calm in just 3 days. We are both in love with Restoration hardware and this is where we found the colors to put on the walls.. a little dark some may say to put in a basement but we are really happy with the finished results. Biscuit is a good friend of Mikes and has done the molding and fireplace upstairs and lucky for us he was free to help, putting in long hours, dealing with cold weather, and pressure for the time limit. We really appreciated his help and he did an AWESOME job! Base boards, crown molding, hanging doors, window sills and many finishing touches to complete these rooms! Tyler and Taylor (Mikes bro and sis in law) were a big help too..
Tyler and Mike did all the tiles in the bathroom and laid this laminate floor. The floor is a good match for the real wood floor that we have up stairs. We are very happy with the way it turned out. Taylor and I were the touch up girls and spent time fixing the hard to reach areas! :) We did fabulous darling! ha ha ha After lighting, plugs, outlets, sinks, faucets, door knobs, blinds were all completed by Mike my handy man extraordinaire, It was time to bring in the decorations! :) MY FAVORITE! I was really excited with the bedding I found at Target and was anxious to bring it into the room. It all went so nicely together. lighting up the room and bringing in the paint colors from both the bedroom and bathroom-- the coverlet, comforter are so nice that it was hard keeping myself from crawling into bed and sleeping. I hope the Powells were comfy in our new room. Our bathroom still has some work-- We love this vanity at restoration hardware and linen tower and the bathroom is all measured to house them, BUT we are holding out for a sale.
In the mean time we bought a single $30 white vanity at Home depot that seems to be doing the job... for now! :)
Also, we bought this buffet for us and my parents on craigs list for $120 that we had hoped to save money on and make it look like the MUCH MORE expensive vanity at Restoration Hardware... Either way....we have options! :) 
Speaking of Restoration Hardware... We are also eyeing this living room set for our soon-to-be completed basement. Praying for a SALE!! :)
