Project Basement: Living Room

Project Basement has been going on for years, since we first bought the house really.  And finally (Finally!) it's to the point where it's liveable down there.  I have to give my husband major props for all his hard work down there, the only things we paid someone else to do were the sheetrock and the carpet.  Everything else Dan did by himself, and I helped out where I could.  It's amazing to see the transformation, and even more so to look back through the pictures and see how it took shape.

As with all projects, there are certain aspects I wish we could've done differently, the family room needed more lighting and I wish I told my husband to put tile in front of the bar not just inside it, but oh well.  Overall I am very pleased with how it turned out and I can't wait until we finish all the little things and really get to livin' down there!

These are pictures of the family room and some of the bar area down there.  One of the areas I was really impressed with is the fireplace.  Dan tiled and built the mantle by himself.  The woodork he was able to display is amazing!  Later I will post more on all the other rooms we've worked on when I've got more time.  I hope you enjoy see all the hard work that's gone into this project.  It's taken several years, and it's so rewarding to actually see your hard work turn into something wondeful. 

So, that's the family room.  Next time I'll update on the Entertainment room and the bedroom I think.  I hope you enjoy the pictures!
