Basement Beginnings

And then there was white…and maybe a few test colors...

For those of you who have had the pleasure of starting a home project from scratch, you know how exciting it can be.  We started refinishing our basement this past November and will be finishing it up this spring.  I am admittedly behind in starting this blog, but I promise to catch you up on where this all started and to provide a few visual flashbacks along the way.  

First and foremost, I must give props (MAD props) to my husband for all his hard work to get our basement to a place where there’s anything for me to blog about!  He has spent countless hours planning, measuring, cutting, and framing our basement; thank you so much for all you do!  I am one lucky lady… 

So, where are we now?  We decided to leave the electrical and drywall to the pros, both of which have finished their work, with overall happy clients.  Now that both of these important steps are done, it’s time for my role in this project to pick up…it’s time for paint!  But first, we needed to prime (and prime, and prime, and prime).  We now have a white wonderland in our basement, well, white with a few color tests of gray on various walls.

I hope you’ve found this a fun read!  Please tune in for the next blog to hear which gray was the lucky winner. 

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!
