The basement...a room with a view...

...even though it's mostly underground.

I mentioned that the basement ceiling was finished last week. Well, Terry has moved a goodly portion of her “office” stuff down there and set herself up in the corner. She’s got a phone extension, a filing cabinet, two desks, a printer, her laptop, and a copy machine down there. She’s all set for when she has Smocking Arts Guild of America business to attend to. As for stitching, she still has her “little” sewing room. (One of the two first floor bedrooms.)

Actually, the basement will be a cool place (literally) to hang out when/if the temperature gets up to 90 degrees or so this summer. (It did get above 80 today, but it's only going to be in the low/mid 60s tomorrow.) There’s a love seat, a TV and a small beverage fridge down there. You’ve even got a bathroom so you don’t need to climb stairs when nature calls. In the winter, there’s the woodstove and ceiling fan to circulate heat and the radiant floor heating if you don’t want to bother with the fire.

Terry’s corner office:


Further down the wall….

…there’s a hutch, a banker’s desk that needs refinishing but that is just huge. Don’t know what we’ll do with the deacons’ bench yet.

On the other side of the basement…

…there’s a TV and mini fridge. A love seat, wood stove and, for the time being, lots of boxes and a ladder and saw horses.

The wall divider on the office side consists of…

…an armoire, a chest-on-chest, and a dresser. There’s lots of storage space in there.

On the TV side of the divider, we have…

…two large bookcases and the love seat. (The planer and the shop vac—like the ladder and saw horses—need to be put away.)

Well, obviously there’s still work to be done and on the next rainy day I just might get around to some of it.
