Before:
Painted but no carpeting (photo taken from the same angle - taken with my blackberry which is why the photo seems so dark):
Now newly carpeted with shelving unit: (photo taken from the same angle but again with my blackberry so I apologize for the darkness of the photo):
I've started putting folders and books away in the shelving and I'm already at a lose for what I'm going to do with all the extra shelving space. I thought I was going to run out but it's looking like I'm going to have extra space left over. I'm just so happy!
I finally made the call today that the red couch which has lived in our basement since we got here - the red couch I've had since before I met my husband - is going to try and find a new home curtesy of Craigslist. As much as I love it, it's just taking up space and not being utilized. And when I only have about 250sqft to work with down there, that's space I need. So the couch will hopefully find a new home, the desk will move into the couch's spot, and then we'll still have room to set up the bikes and the trainers when needed AND give the dogs some running room down there.
Speaking of which, I'm convinced my youngest dog just equates "carpeting" with "crazy time." When we go to visit my parents house in Wyoming we always send them down into the carpeted basement when they start to go a little nuts and the younger pup just does laps in the basement. However, that's the only time she's ever seen carpeting. Now that we have it installed in the basement she literally turns into crazy dog everytime she goes down there. Even last night at 10pm she was down there doing windsprints...this for a dog who, and I'm being serious when I say this, goes upstairs to bed on her own at 8:30pm every night. It's really rather hilarious to watch though it has me wondering how productive my time down there will be with crazy dog erupting in the background.
