The Basement
For my regular readers.. you all know we've been working on our basement since last winter.. it was a big unfinished space and we wanted to make sure whatever we did we did right. Living on the east coast means most of the year it's too cold or wet to go out and we wanted to make a space where our boys could escape to in the winter.. we wanted a place we could hang out with friends.. .. we wanted a lot.. so striking the perfect balance was not easy. So I made layouts.. and more layouts and then we started to meet with contractors.. in case you missed it here's my post about Hiring a Contractor
We started with a large dark rectangular space with an ugly green staircase running down the middle. Our solution.. creating a U shaped space with a large closet running from underneath the staircase to the end of the room..

The layout in its simplest form. The previous owner or the builder thought it was a good idea to scatter the utilities throughout the room.. so we had to create three more closets one for each, the heating, electric and water.. seriously!
Walls were created.. and what a difference it makes.
Between the painting and the carpet we cooked up a little surprise for the boys. M took a few days off and with the help of my dad we made a little something.. this post will start to get too long.. so come back next week and I'll show you just what we did.
Have you seen the rest of the house.. take a peek at what else we've been up to. Inside Our Home

The Adult Side
The Kid Side
The Space between the two sides and in front of the staircase
You see how the ceiling is uneven and all these soffits had to be made.. well again that was thanks to the brilliance of the previous owner or builder they thought it made more sense to layer the ducts on top of one another and make clusters instead of spreading them out evenly..
Next the walls were painted Behr's Silver Charm.. there is so much in a name.. isn't there? And the carpet laid.
