First coat of mud

Below are pictures of the basment with the tape and first coat of mud. It is looking really good. Mike and I are very excited to get this done. We went to Home Depot last night to look at carpet and some tile to put around the fireplace, bar area and under the fridge. We found some really nice carpet on special for $1.49/sq. ft. Mike is planning on putting in the order today. We think we found the tile too, but might wait on that for alittle bit. Unless we need to have it in before the carpet people come. We already picked out our paint color too. Actually Jon picked it out and we both liked it. It is called Warm Terra Cotta from Behr's Midtone & Deep collection. We brought all the samples together and thought they all looked good together. Can't wait! We still need to pick out some type of stone to put around the fireplace. We will probably have to go back to Fireside for that. We didn't see any at home Depot. Jose will be coming later today to put the second coat of mud on. Hopefully he will be back on Sunday to finish up the job with the texturizing of the ceiling and walls. Than after that Mike can get the painting done! :)
