One big cement box. Four cement walls and wooden rafters overhead. We officially started working on our basement in July/August of 2006. I thought we would have it finished before William was born (this goal was completely unrealistic, like most of my home improvement timelines).
Two days ago it looked like this. Still cement-y, but a lot more homey.
And this
Now it looks like this:
And this
The big change? Carpet. Beautiful carpet all over the floor and professionally installed. Which means we are ready for furniture, toys, and decorating (but probably won't be happening until this spring when the finances are in better order)! YAY! 
I am so proud of us for finishing this HUGE project. We have almost doubled the square footage of our home and did almost all the work ourselves. From the cement box to livable space has been a very big undertaking - but I'm proud we completed it!
A big THANK YOU goes out to my dad (and mom) who have helped us tirelessly during every single visit over the last two (plus) years without much complaining. I think the next time you come to visit you'll find your feet will be a little warmer and we can go out and DO something (or we can work on my next project if you would rather!).

Looks great. Did the carpet go into the bedroom too?
And I saved my complaining for the drive home. (kidding)
