Well, our basement renovation is moving along and while there are no finishing touches yet, there's already a world of difference.
Here's a reminder of where we were about a month ago.

oh, that light fixture
And here we are today. Ready for paint, carpet and finishing touches.

let there be light!
As rough as it still is, I am thrilled at the difference the recessed lighting has made already.
Here's a shot of the behemoth that is mocking me. I've been trying to get rid of this monster for years but she didn't fit through the basement door. It's the one thing I wanted out of the space more than anything, yet here she sits. Big, fat and smug. The English teacher in me appreciates the irony.
And here's a shot of the can of worms we opened by having a contractor in our house.
"While you're here, we may as well fix the bathroom ceiling, install a fan...
replace the low end vanity and light fixture, paint
and get rid of the blue hallway that's been driving me batty for a year.
It's all been far smoother than I expected and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.
Any projects on your plate lately?
