Basement Remodel-Phase 1 COMPLETE!

We have a great Michigan basement. Unfinished, lots of storage, and it is nicely about 10 degrees cooler than the main floor. Well...we decided to tidy it up a bit down there. Over the next 2 months we plan on having 4 phases. Phase 1-paint walls. Phase 2-paint floors. Phase 3-put up trim. Phase 4-decorate! (Aka-my favorite part because I get to be creative; however, this will also be the longest phase).

BEFORE:






 Phase 1 complete! Brad and I spent the first day emptying out the entire room. Then we had to sand down the walls with paneling and scrub the cement walls in preparation for painting. Lots of prep work! Paint eventually came. What a night and day difference to have clean, freshly painted tan walls instead of the old dirty yellow.





Let Phase 2 begin! We have to scrub and  remove all of the old paint, so that will be a HUGE project for us. Stay tuned!

    It is looking great! Projects are just so much work, and even though they take place typically in ONE room of the house I feel like the whole house becomes a disaster! Can't wait to see more progress pictures!

    Assuming you are planning to get your basement renovated. You know that it's going to cost you. But you also understand that if you get it well planned, you will not only be saving money, you will be saving time in the process.
