So, this is a very exciting day for us... we finally have one room completely remodeled/decorated room in our new house.  Very sad considering we've lived here for over 4 months!  I guess having a baby on the way is great motivation to get the house finished!  It also helps that Andy is at home now.  There were only a few minor wounds encountered in refinishing the basement and Duke only played in the paint tray once.  All the dogs do have white ears at the moment from rubbing against wet doors, haha.  Not too bad for us!  The biggest chore of the basement was removing the beautiful maroon carpet and staining the concrete, not a process I ever recommend!  And after the basement flooded about 5 times due to various reasons (which we believe are all under control) the room is now fully functional and turned out pretty great! Here is a before picture and a few after pictures:
