There is no finish line: Basement Update # 1

So I'm still figuring out how this blog works and I have no idea if I edit earlier posts and add photos to it if it'll become the most current post.... Will it? I have no idea. I don't think so. So, I don't want anyone to miss out on new photos I post, because, obviously, that's the purpose of this BLOG. So, I made the executive decision just now to create a new post every time I add new photos. So this post is entitled Basement Update # 1. And I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that it's going to be update # 1 of about 537... or infinity. Because like I always say, in my world, there is no finish line.

Here goes.. If you need a refresher of the previous photos, click here.

TILE'S IN DA HOUSE! WOOOO!!!!

So this is my newly tiled floor. This is actually ceramic tile that looks like hardwood flooring.

Cool, huh? I love it. I love it even though it's super dooper dirty because

it's covered with sheet rock dust and sawdust.

But someday, it will be clean and I will dedicate an entire post to clean floors.

Someday. Maybe.

We now have wood on the walls! WOOD IS IN DA HOUSE! WOOOOOO!

We went with white pine 1" x 8" planks. We're not going to stain them, just polyurethane them. I like their natural light color and with it being a small, narrow basement, lighter colors are better to make it feel open.

We did want some contrast however so we decided to stain the shelving units of the future entertainment center the famous Dark Walnut color as you can see here.... I ran out of stain on the right one because some dumbass spilled an entire can of it.

Another project made by super hubby. He built these shelving units all by himself. They have doors that go on the bottom part. This unit, once the doors are on, will hide the sump pump but still give us access to it... So clever. I told you he's good!!

See the doors? See the fireplace? It's hiding behind the TV from 1985 that has the disco ball on top of it. Late at night, when Ryan's done working he turns it on and cranks up Gloria Gaynor and goes to town. It's how he destresses...everyone needs an outlet. Don't judge. It's a sight all should see.
