First Look at Our DIY Basement Remodel Project

Our basement remodel project is really starting to take shape! We’ve been working most weekends since the beginning of spring to get the space to where it is today. We’ve definitely got our sweat equity in this home – and lots more to come! I’m so excited to share what the space looks like now.

We bought a house! After what seemed like a million showings and open houses we found the perfect house for us.
