Our remodeling project is over, for the most part! We have a little trim work and some touch ups to do. Below is our basement family room after the remodel. The basement used to be one large wood paneled room, we divided it into 3 rooms by adding walls to make 2 new bedrooms and enough remaining space for a family room. We kept the paneling for now in the family room to save money. The color isn't too dark & the kids might eventually ruin it with drawings & holes, so we decided to keep to make it work. We would like to decorate in a western theme to tie it all together. We currently have a hodge-podge theme, using items we already own.
Below: Another view of the family room and the pine doors to the 2 new bedrooms.
Below: The orange(Citrus Blast is the color name) room upstairs, shared by 2 of the girls. It is bright & sunny & we hardly ever have to turn the lights on thanks to the glow of the paint.
Another view below of the orange room. I also painted the dresser white & the knobs orange.
Below, one of the new basement rooms. We let the kids choose their own paint colors. Our 11 year old wanted brown, so we left a half wall of paneling & painted the remaining walls beige.
The log cabin/northern woods/fishing lodge themed bedroom, above. The window is shown below with the curtains I made. Our son proudly displayed his b-b gun along with the II Amendment (the right to bear arms).
Below, the upstairs pink room! She LOVES it! We still have to apply the wallpaper border & do a few more finishing touches.
The blue "cars" room below. He loves his cars quilt & car stickers on the wall!
We started these renovations in November 2008, by adding the first window. Over the last several months we worked steadily to complete the project on a tight budget. We are happy with the result. We still have 1 remaining project, the basement bathroom needs new floors and walls, and we hope to remove the shower and add a prefab tub/shower. The bathroom remodeling project will have to wait while we take a break and catch our breath & complete the finishing touches on the bedrooms. It feels good to finally be at this point! And, I can send everyone to their rooms when I need peace & quiet! Well worth all the work!!!
