The Basement-Not Finished...but Close!

We have been working on texturing and painting the basement for the past month. I know we're slow. Here is the progress....but first lets start from the beginning.

This is what the basement looked like 6 months ago on the day we moved in. The wallpaper is gray with blue dots, the border is blue mallard ducks. The carpet is gray which we chose not to change since it is in good shape and we don't have alot of moola. So gray carpet is what we had to work around.

This is the day the ducks came down.

Ken installed new recessed lighting above where the TV will go. He added a few new outlets and switches, and a light for underneath the stairs.

We textured the upper part of the wall where we removed the wallpaper. It was a bigger job than we were expecting. But finally we were ready to paint. I wanted a country red and tan, but that would not go well with the carpet so we went with greens.

We still need to finish the outlet covers, get new blinds, put up curtains to the furnace closet, put up the pool table light, and decorate, but here it is so far...

This is just as you come down the stairs. I want to put a mirror above the bar. And a large picture above the couch.

This is from the opposite corner. We have been having fun with the new Wii.Another view...

This is the treadmill corner.

Here's the dart board...opposite the treadmill.Ta-dah! That's it.

Oh, I forgot...We also replaced some of our 70's light fixtures upstairs. When we bought our new couches last week I found these lights on clearance.

Here's the old...

Here are the new...This one hangs in the kitchen, above the dining area. This one is in the entry just as you walk in the front door. I think they are a tad cutie than what we had.

Okay, now I'm done. That's it.
