A handy husband

Something that attracted us to this house was that the basement had a game room. Perfect for a mancave playroom! When we moved in we knew it needed some work. The previous owner built the walls way out, put down cheap icky carpet and it was this color (along with many other weird things).....

Sadly, we didn't take any before pictures, but this color doesnt belong in a small room in the basement.

Luckily, I have a smart and handy husband that gave this room a big makeover. He tore down the walls, re-framed them, put up new drywall, painted, put down new ceramic tile, and lots more. Here are some pictures:







 We got most of what needed to be done in time for the game.  We brought down an extra couch and managed to make some end tables till we get some real ones. We even pulled out our Steelers Snuggie!
There is still some work to be done but it is turning out great. Alex did an awesome job!

Anyone out there that blogs a lot and posts lots of pictures: can you run out of storage room? Did you pay for more? It wont let me upload any saying I have used all my space. Once that is figured out, I will post Super Bowl pictures!

I love it! He did such a great job. The futon looks so at home down there. We're terribly sorry your Steelers lost yesterday. But at least you got to watch the game in your fantastic new basement! So cool, Alex!

I haven't reached that point yet, but I know someone who did. They chose to pay since it was only like 5 or 10 dollars for quite a bit of space. I think I probably will when I do get to that point.
The room looks fabulous too!
