Today is day one of our hopefully 3 week renovation. We have finally, after much umming and ahhing decided that we NEEDED to have our basement made into usable, livable space. With baby #2 on its way in less than 3 months there was no way we could manage without the space this renovation is going to create.
I am so excited since we get to pick out carpet and paints, moulding and trim-something we never got to do with the purchase of this house- everything was already here (as much as i like or dislike it) -well we did pick out paint but for the basement we can do something more fun if we choose and less "functional" as i like to call our choice of colour in the rest of the house.
It is too embarassing to post before photos of the basement so i'll just try to take a few during and some definitely after shots!
Let's just hope that the 3 week time frame actually stands and we can have our house back to "guest worthy" shape in no time!!

I have struggled for years to get the smile I wanted. I have tried teeth whitening at a clinic, every type of toothpaste imaginable includin...
Ooooooooh!!! How exciting and FUN!!! I LOVE home renovations! I remember seeing your basement when you first moved in. I think that was the only time I saw it though. It looks like you guys have a lot of space down there! You have a beautiful house and I'm looking forward to seeing the renovations!!! XOXO
ReplyDeletethanks Christine!!
ReplyDeletethe basement became a junkyard for all our unused stuff but we're slowly getting rid of it and giving it away. We already took 4 garbage bags full of old stuff to Value Village...hopefully someone else will find good use for it :)
How exciting. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the reno's... it will be an absolute mess but worth it in the end. We need a basement reno too ... after the spring garage sale that I am so dreading in itself LOL!
