The Basement is Finished!

Today the work on our basement was wrapped up! We are sooo relieved and cannot wait to move our stuff back down there and start living normally again. :-) Below are pictures from painting, and then the finishing touch, carpet!

With primed walls...

Bathroom accessories are in, including Tara's "dream toilet" with the flusher on top. C'mon over and try it for yourself! *grin*
(see, you were wrong, Mr. Riggenbach - the light strategically positioned to enhance proper hand washing, instead of what you thought)

The new tile pad by the door

Painting trim!

On goes the paint!

Tara: keeper of the used-up-painters-tape

TADA! (wish it went as fast as posting these pictures...)

Now let's pull back and see what it looked like in the beginning.....

BEFORE: ugly paneling, crumbling drop ceiling (full of dead mice), florescent lights, disgusting carpet, leaky window wells....

And now....

FINISHED! Beautiful plain walls, mouse-less smooth ceiling, warm lighting, clean new carpet and no leaky window wells! Quite an improvement, I'd say!

Now we have to figure out where to put everything again.... :-)

The new basement looks fantastic!

The fixtures relative to the lighting is what I expected: good light for hand washing like you mentioned, and light over your shoulder for seated reading (one wouldn't want his head to cast a shadow on his reading material you know).
