It’s Done!

Posted on by Karen

Terrible things are happening in America* but the basement is officially FINISHED, professionally cleaned, and inspected. It took just 12 weeks including holidays (!!) and I love it. If I were rich I’d hire EVERY home improvement project out to the pros.

Here are the befores: An unfinished basement from the corner of the room. The insulation and furnace are exposed.

An unfinished stairwell leading into the basement. Various pantry items are stacked on the stair ledge.

And here are the afters:
The same angle of the same basement, but now there are clean white walls, a bathroom, doors over the furnace, and wood-look flooring

The same shot of the stairwell but with finished white walls, lighting, and wood-look stairs

I need to get everything we put in the garage moved back into the new closet before I move in furniture, but I did put some rugs down already. (Gotta protect the new floor!)

The basement room with a shaggy white and black rug in it

A bathroom with a green vanity, a leopard rug, and white walls
