Well this was the entrance to our basement before...just about a few weeks ago. Dark, narrow and "dungeony". Definetley felt like a basement.
This is the suprise mess I got when I came home from work one night. Nick is notorious for that. But overall, it was a really good suprise. If you can't tell, where the chair is, there used to be a wall there. Those are electrical wires hangning...trying to figure out what to do with them as it kinda threw a wrench into our plan.
This is how it looks now. Half wall. Very open and inviting. Electrical wires hidden!
No more ceiling that goes down with you as you head downstairs. It's completley open all the way to the top. All new drywall. No more barn red! :)
Now when you are standing in the kitchen you can see who is coming in the garage door. So the boys can't be hiding any guests into the basement!! :) It looks 150 times better. I am so proud of Nick for tackling all these jobs by himself...and honeslty sometimes I think he just wings it and hopes for the best!! :)
oh wow! I remember you telling me about this. It looks great :)
