The basement is finished!
There is still some tweaking involved here and there but for the most part, it is done.
First, though, let us refresh our memories a little with the before pictures from the original post here.
Oh, and yes, I did take the picture when my basement was looking the worst it could possibly look.
Not ashamed to say it, I wanted the reveal to be dramatic.
But I did not toss those toys around myself.
My kids love to make a mess.
Here is the family room area before:
It just looks sad, doesn’t it?
The toy area before:
…which had taken over the rest of the basement……
The nook of the family room before:
…again, taken in the night by the toys…..
The office/craft cemetery before:
……which usually had some toys in it as well……
The craptastic hall down to the basement before:
It’s almost embarrassing to look at now.
Here are some during pictures to give you an idea of how the progress went:
And here are the after pics.
The former toy area turned tween hang out area/office.
The former office/craft cemetery turned toy room:
The family room:
Family room nook:
Standing on the steps looking at the family room:
Hallway to the basement:
Now with beadboard and a handmade shelf:
And decorated:
And now I am off to take a nap.
I will do a separate post about all the little details next week with prices and my final cost to improve our basement on a budget!
Wow! Great job. It looks like it was a lot of work, but you must be thrilled with the results. I found you via ABFOL. 🙂
