Well maybe that’s an exaggeration but it sure feels like it’s taking forever! Anyhow we are on the final stretch now and it’s starting to look like we had planned! I know I had said I would post this last week but life got in the way!!!
We’ve completely changed the color we are doing the basement in. I had got some paint from The Home Depot that had been discounted for only $45 for 5 Gallons, enough to do the whole basement. When I got a couple of rooms painted and got a chance to see it dry and on the wall I didn’t like it. It felt too institutional. I was going to try to tint it but at the end of the day I wouldn’t be able to guarantee a consistent color so we didn’t do it. So I went to the Home Depot again (shocker) and picked out a whole new color scheme. So the new colors are:
Burnished Clay for the Walls, Elephant Skin for the 2 Accent Walls, Darkest Grape for the inside the bookcases, and Ultra Pure White for the trim and doors. The pictures here are a little fuzzy but in real life it is looking great!
The flooring is going to now be an Espresso laminate from Costco for the living room area.
:
In the bedroom, hallway and stairs it will be carpet from the Home Depot in a light grey kind of color. We wanted to do carpet throughout the basement but it was just way out of our budget so laminate it is. A savings of around $2000…We haven’t ordered the carpet just yet but we are headed to Costco to get the Laminate today. Randy will install it over the next week, I just need to finish the painting… It’s coming together though, can’t wait to share the final pics!
