New project
Here is my new refinishing project. Just picked it up on local online classifieds for $40.

Basement reno
We moved into this house in April of 08. At that time the basement was lime green with a dayglo orange accent - very nice! I guess the former owners just used it as a big play area for the kids and decided to let them pick the colours.
Well, thankfully the big stuff was done, wiring, flooring and drywall, so putting our touch on the basement was not as drastic as it might have been in an unfinished space...mostly paint and cosmetic touches.
Here is our nearly finished product. I am searching for 'before' pics just so the previous colour can be "appreciated".
The new colours are Woodlake (grey/brown) and Chipotle (accent) wall. Both C2 colours.
The credenza holding the TV was a great find by Nina at Value Village for 25.00. It was originally a honey oak colour office credenza that I stripped, refinished and replaced the hardware.
We are pretty happy with the outcome. Now we are going to focus on the kids playroom...which as a striking reminder is still lime green!
Ok...enough is enough
This is the view from our basement window. Solid snow, top to bottom. I have nowhere else to put the snow from the driveway either...the snowbanks must be 6 feet tall.
Question: How many days 'til spring? Answer: too many!
