Basement Renovation:
A Wet Before To

Did three months spent underground give me liscence to post a highly dorky video on my blog? You betcha.
In case you can't view the video, here are a few stills to give you an idea of how far we've come.

Having poured blood, sweat and tears into this little hideaway, we're pretty pleased with the results. There are a few finishing touches we need to add, but for now - we're happy to kick back by the fire and toast our amazing new basement.

P.S. I liked the video. =)
Wow! I absolutely love what you have done there. Such a dramatic transformation.. The colour on the Stair Room walls is really nice, sorry to be rude, but can I ask what colour it is? :)

Simone, we used Olympic's No-VOC paint in Blue Shamrock for the walls and Pickle barrel for the fireplace top and bar. Thanks for reading, all!
