Our basement modification project is complete!
In just two weeks, we got rid of our pool table, had the bar taken out and replaced with cabinets/countertop, had the closet reconfigured, had the walls repainted, had new carpet put on the stairs, and had the carpeted floors replaced with wood laminate. We purchased a more functional couch as well as some new storage units for toys.
And we couldn't be happier with the result! We finally have a basement that Ella can explore independently!!
This renovation for Ella has been possible simply because there are so many people who care. The fundraisers that were thrown have funded this extraordinary project and we will never forget the generosity of everyone who has touched our lives. Thank you.
Here are some before and after pictures of our project (and a video at the end!):
And here is a video of Ava, Henry and Ella seeing and exploring the new basement for the first time:
