The basement is now completed! Wow what a project! It started a while back when we ripped out some rooms, pulled down some sheet-rock and pretty much just gutted the whole room. The open part of the room was two toned with dark blue and light blue, and again with the chair rail, shadow boxes and ridiculous amounts of crown molding. The bedroom we ripped out was the lighter blue, and the hallway by the back door was a salmon color...lovely combos here people, LOVELY!Oscar did a beautiful job repairing the sheetrock, hand sewing the carpet back in where the wall used to be, laying linoleum, matching the baseboards all around, and drilling the edging into the cement. We painted the room and it just looks so amazing. There are still a few small things to do, but overall we are really pleased. Since this picture, the playroom has moved down...yea for a lot less toys around the house! Boo for a perpetually disastrous mess of a basement! But now that the playroom is out of the dining room, remodeling of the dining room has begun (woohoo, and shopping for furniture has begun also :) don't tell Oscar).
