Earlier this year we had the privilege of being referred to a family who has three growing girls and basement that needed some love so they could call it "home".  It was so much fun to watch as this outdated basement turned into a perfect space for two of these lovely ladies, complete with:

• A giant mirror to practice their budding ballet skills 
• The addition of a second bedroom
• Custom shower and tile flooring in the bathroom
• A bathroom layout that provides privacy for the shower and toilet area and a double vanity
• A jack and jill style walk in closet for all their fun clothes
• LVT flooring throughout the bedrooms/main area
• New egress windows to keep them safe and sound and to add more light to the space
• New canned lighting complete with motion sensors
  
• And more that I'm sure I'm forgetting! 

It was quite the transformation and we hope they enjoy their new space for years and years to come!

Continued from the last post...

The stuff that was all dried out was replaced by fully functional stuff and as a result our hole is now patched.  Yay!!  No more ugly drywall.  Mr. Handy also painted a whole bunch of other spots that needed touched up in the laundry room, and voila, it's a happier little space.  Now if I could find someone to fold all the clean laundry that has accumulated in baskets there...hmm...

While he was at Home Depot, he also picked up supplies to make a cute board for us to measure the height of our kiddos as they grow up.  That way if we move someday we can take it with us.  This project involved painting, which Tom is excellent at, but does not love to do.  :)  

​Check out the video and as soon as it's complete I'll post the final pics of that project as well.  In the meantime, he also built a box for the bed of his truck "to keep the groceries from rolling around."  Good call dear...no one wants rolled around groceries!  And he fixed a mirror that needed more child-proofing.  I tell you, this guy loves to have a project.  I'm lucky to have him around!
