Bonnie Moved Home!

So Bonnie moved home and we are still trying to get her settled!  I have a 3 car garage and for awhile there couldn't get one car in it because of all of her stuff! ha  Now, we need to work on getting HER car into it as well - still full of stuff!  I wil post a picture later so you will know what I'm talking about! WOW!  It's fun to have her home though - we kind of do our own thing and hang out when we can or need to.  We're still trying to get the basement finished, but are making great progress....

We started with a totally unfinished basement that had lots of room and lots of possibility.  Walls were framed, plumbing set, electrical ran and mid way through we looked about like this....

At this point, we had to stop, regroup and decide how we wanted to finish it.  (I don't know why I say "we" so much...haha...more like "me", but Toby helped too.  Then, in December we HAD to start up again because Bonnie was moving home on Christmas Eve (??)....and my "pool guy" became my "basement guy" and put down the flooring, the ceiling, the trim, the tile, etc. and got us to here...

Wood floor and cool tile layout by sliding doors....

Put in the glass block window 1 and trimmed it. I LOVE this window. It is in the "hall" area and bathroom - adds light to both places - very cool!

Block window number 2 - above wet bar (he put that in for us too) and again shares a wall with the bathroom - haha - bringing in light! 

View from bathroom of "bar" block window.  heehee...(not sure I like my paint choice for this bathroom yet....any suggestions?)

A vew of block window #2, hall, doorway to bathroom and....the MESS!! Between moving Bonnie's stuff in and my "garden" and "pool" stuff out of the way - it's a wonder there was any room to work.  I LOVE the wide trim!!

Here is a view of the main room - you can see where the bar/island will go - waiting on counter top, the ceiling - wasn't my choice (long story) but the pool guy made it look awesome!  Love the 5 inch lights....and that pole....I'm either going to do a white column...or for now may wrap in rope to go with my "beachy" theme and see how I like that for awhile....of course you see Bon's furniture...we are going to be looking for off while slip covers for it.....

Here's a peek at Bonnie's bedroom! She went gray and gray for her color scheme! LOL  She got the chandelier at IKEA - we need to put a ceiling "round" thing at the top instead of having the rod just poke out of the ceiling.  She also has cool tree motives to put on the darker back wall BUT we tried to put them up......

Here you see her working......but the next morning we got up and it was down!  Probably because of the rought plaster - so we ordered another middle tree (this one) and are going to try it again using spray adhesive along with it to see if that works.  I'll let you know how it goes!

Today we are going to go look for curtains for the other windows in the basement and the sliding doors - if she ever gets out of bed and we don't decide to stay inside where it's warm and safe because it's blowing snow out today.
