Carpet Makes A Difference

We had our dress rehearsal last night, for our play, and it was incredible. Needless to say, we are very busy. Between the play, normal work demands, and most of our family coming in for the play, I won't have much time to blog over the next few day. I did want to show off our carpeted basement. It came out really nice. It is essentially finished except for putting on the floor molding and the ceiling in the "way back" part of the basement - just around the corner in the above picture - we need to put in a suspended tile ceiling. Probably won't get to either one for a couple weeks. It's amazing how putting the carpet in truly makes it look like a real room and not a cave under the house.
Hopefully, it will feel comfortable enough for some of our visiting family to sleep in this week - since all the bedrooms will be full. We are really thankful to have this extra space. I'm just glad you can't see what that storeroom looks like just behind that wall to the left.
Maybe I can get a picture or two of the play posted sometime over the next four days of performances.

Beautiful room! What a lot of work you have done. That carpet will be comfortable without the bed! Your play looks like so much fun. Very beautiful. We will look forward to hearing about it on the boat!

That looks so good! My father-in-law has been slaving away on their basement for a while, so I know it's been a lot of work for you.
