Done!

Finally our basement renovation is finished! We still have a few more pieces of furniture to move in, and need to decide on a rug, but otherwise it is complete:) I thought just like in the past, I would include the before and after pictures of the space. I'm going to take you all the way back to the walk-through photos so you can see the "potential" we saw in the basement. Obviously our style is a bit different than the previous owner's.

When you first walked into the basement...

Eventually Jas' race simulator will be moved into the storage room, and we will have more seating and a table. For now it goes with Chase's car/play area motif.

BAR BEFORE

BAR AFTER
The bar front used to be carpeted. Same wall-to-wall carpet as on the floor. We covered it in lath. Pretty much scraps that people have when they tear down plaster walls. It cost us $24! Pretty sweet right?

BEFORE

AFTER
Jas knew as soon as he saw the space that it could accommodate a much larger screen than our other house.

My Favorite Picture-no more hideous poles
This sofa table used to be two cabinets we knocked down in our kitchen. They were a dark wood and not our style. I however, was determined to make them into something. After doing research on distressing furniture, and buying some sweet chalk paint, I got to work. After a few hours of painting and sanding, and a little extra lath leftover from the bar-here is my masterpiece. The pictures don't do it justice.

Already full of Chase's toys. Gotta get some more baskets so I can hide his stuff behind the glass doors!


On to the next project...I think we are going to take a break from inside and tackle some new landscaping next!
