When we found out we were expecting Baby #3, we decided to pull the trigger on finishing off a portion of our unfinished basement space. We got a couple of quotes and decided to have Kevin Eggers work on the project. He began back in December by putting in a huge egress window, so that the room would meet code specifications. Kevin worked quickly and had the studs and drywall up in two days! After mudding, Eric got the room painted while I was in Eau Claire for the weekend. Next came the doors (which I found second hand on a rummage sale page) and the trim (which was overstock from EWP). Finding those discounted items really saved us a bunch of money and helped keep us on budget. Final touches were the drop ceiling, light fixtures, and carpeting. We couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! It is such a light and bright space that doesn't feel "basementy" at all. We know it will be a cozy space for our newest little, and will help Nolan and Livi feel secure by letting them stay in their current rooms. Now on to decorating...
