Basement Renovation Complete!

So...we finally have a basement!!

(correction - we always had one but not

one that anyone would want to spend

more than the time it takes to run downstairs to do

some laundry and hustle back up again...

it was a dark, smelly, 70's paneling,

musty, gross carpet, horror movie type place...)

I dug up some old photos from when we first

moved in to prove it...join me for a tour!

Before Stairwell.

After.
(walls are not yellow - more greenish khaki)

Before laundry area (to the left of stairs

...now hidden behind a lovely curtain)

Before - to the right of stairs)

After! (new play area originally was going

to be poker area... me and kids won this one...)

Before.

After. Really like our cutout...eventually

planning for a fooseball table on the closet side...

had to work around that darn support pole!

Before. Behind the stairs... (gross!)

After. (hooray!)

Even Walter Payton found a new home

and is happy to be out of his box...

The view you would have if you were to

spend an evening at the Bull residence...

(futon use is complementary and

included with your stay)
