We finished the basement!
There is still some tweaking involved here and there, but mostly, it is done.
First, though, let us refresh our memories a little with the before pictures from the original post here.
Oh, and yes, I took the picture when my basement was looking the worst it could look.

But I did not toss those toys around me.
I swear.
Here is the family room area before:

The toy area before:
The nook of the family room before:
The office/craft cemetery before:
The craptastic hall down to the basement before

Here are some during pictures to give you an idea of how the progress went:
And here are the after pics.
The former toy area turned tween hang out area/office.

The family room:

And now I am off to take a nap.
I will do a separate post about all the little details next week!
