A Sneak Preview- Our messiest home improvement project yet!

We are in the process of finishing our basement where we will have 1,100 new square feet of living space. The space is to include: full bathroom, full kitchen/ bar, media/theater room, gym, a second pantry and some storage space.

We never expected to go from this..

To this (what a mess)...

But eventually we got to this...

We all know, not all things go as planned. We learned when you buy a house with a basement plumbed for a bathroom, you should ask some questions about what exactly that means.

My favorite part so far has been when my hubby took down the wall along the stairs and made a new landing to open it all up. Unfortunately, I have a tacky before photo because that is where I stacked up some of the stuff we were storing in the basement when we started the project. However, here is before...

And after...

 

As you can see we are currently in the drywall phase and have a ways to go to completion.

We have also made a lot of progress from where we began.

Below may not look like much to you but it is where our future downstairs kitchen will be.

I hope to have some finished photos to share with you soon, stay tuned! If you have a finished basement and have suggestions, please comment! Or comment if you just want to say hello.
