How to up your square footage by 30%

It took us over two years, but the basement is finally finished! Okay, my compulsion toward absolute accuracy forces me to admit there are still a few little things we have to do yet. But if I let that stop me from posting photos, none of you would ever have seen pictures of the upstairs of our house, either.
And so, without further ado (and without furniture or anything else) I present--The Basement!
The big girls' room.

All this open space just makes you want to run . . .


or wrestle.

All the other photos are from a week and a half ago. Since then we have tastefully decorated our new TV room with vintage furniture, including Casey's grandmother's antique TV stand. We are well on our way to making the basement the nicest part of our house.
