We have carpet!

The carpet in the basement was installed yesterday. I really like how it turned out. I think it looks more like a finished space than just a room in the basement. Also what you can't really see in the picture is that Dan put on a fresh coat of white paint. The previous white was really dingy and dirty in some spots. That really helped too. Someday it would be nice to put in a drop ceiling (drywall would be even better!) but that's not in the budget right now.

Oh, and if you're wondering, the carpet is a Berber with an indented square pattern in it.
