1. No more Gears of War blasting in my living room.
2. No more living room clutter of 1028374 remote controls.
3. No more cursing at the Chiefs on Sundays within my earshot.
4. 2/3 of the house free to decorate and arrange in whatever way I desire.
5. 2 floors between my bed and the surround sound.
Yes, the basement was mostly for hubs, but we all benefit here. Plenty of space for entertaining. A bar. Space for working out. Watching movies. Spending quality time. And a lock at the top of the door in case he pisses me off. Ha! I kid. Kind of.
Let's look at the before photos:
After wall demolition.
Who doesn't like "salmon" carpet? Oh, right. Everyone.
Progress= 5 quarts of "Silky Bamboo" from Behr, 7 paint brushes, 6 rollers, several bottles of wine, several 6-packs of beer.
Free Home Depot hat. Why? Because we're loyal customers. And because hubs had issues getting paint in his eyes.
Now, the BIG REVEAL!

Don't mind Peanut. She's hazing a nap.
Big screen and the World Series.
Happy hubs at his computer nook. See above his head? Surround sound. The first movie he tested it with? The Matrix.
Lazy Boy with heat AND massage, cup holder and built-in booklight. Someone went all out for comfort. And bonus Wiggles in the background.
And the bar. Ah, yes. Complete with mini-fridge. Classy.
There it is! On it's way to being complete. We have some more furniture and WAY more organizing to do, but it's coming along. Next? I'll post pics of the rest of the house. Now that we can actually move around in it. Happy day!

The basement looks great!! I have basement envy since we don't have them in my area. I wish we did...I could USE the extra space.
It looks great! I was looking at a couch just like that for our basement too :-)
It looks awesome Heather!
