So we've really been wanting to finish our basement really bad. We like using it for band practices and stuff because of all the room, and we'll probably incorporate a large den/play area down that could still be used for a practice area, but we would really like it to be living space as well. So! Yesterday, a lady offered on freecycle some carpet, 11x11 ivory colored plush carpet. It's 6 years old and they bought it at Home Depot. She said it was hardly used. That is was in their dining room area but they never used their dining room for eating. They recently decided they wanted to start using their dining room for eating, so she wanted to put down hardwood. So they pulled the carpet up and the cushion part, and I got it!! We brought it in the basement last night, and it looks like its going to cover at least 1/3 of the basement. I think its larger than 11x11. Its huge! And really nice. I can't believe she was giving it away. But of course we went and picked it up at her house and she lives in a very prestigious neighborhood, so she was starving to sell it to make money.

So after picking that up, we met up with a guy and got two bathroom vanity light sets. We're gonna paint them a silver or black color. They're really nice, once they get painted. But I'm gonna keep my eye out. Hopefully, I'll rack up on some other things to finish the basement. It'd be awesome to get it all done for free, lol
