Basement: part two (with photos)
I’ve really come a long way with the basement — but it’s also taken a long time to get there, relatively speaking.
I’ve put in about five hours on Thursday evening, close to eight hours on Friday and at least ten to twelve hours today. Today’s accomplishments included getting all of the walls painted and touched up, patched up some bad knicks in the walls, patched up the top edging as you walk downstairs, and even painted the legs on my beer brewing shelf to help it not look so out of place. Looks a little better now.
I still have a bit of work ahead of me. I have to lay all the tiles yet and then have to go on a quest for some curtains and cheap curtain rods for the laundry rooms and the water meter area. I decided not to put the doors back up because they’re pretty ugly and very clumsy to deal with. I saw some nice heavy full-length curtains on Bed Bath & Beyond’s website that I may pick up. That should also help reduce the overall liveness of the room, too…since there’ll be no carpeting down there.
I might also pick up a cool area rug or two to make it a bit more homey.
It’s getting there. Time for a beer and some TV. Enjoy the photos:

looking good man! With the rugs I’d suggest thinking about one large enough to go under the drums so the kick doesn’t scratch the crap out of your pretty new flooring

Agreed. I’m thinking one or two big area rugs, rectangular in shape.

Or maybe crushed velvet with the poker dogs or velvit Elvis.
