One Week In... The Basement

Well, it's been a week.  We have been living, camping in our new house for a week now, all while starting a MAJOR renovation.  I am so excited to see the progress, and even though it doesn't go quite as fast as it does on HGTV I am super pleased with how much has been done.

So far we have focused mainly on the basement.  LOTS AND LOTS of demo.  New floors, fresh paint... starting to feel more at home.  Here are some before and after pictures.

Below- The first hole I made... It was fun!

Above- Do you see the brick patterned concrete behind that ugly wall paper?  Instead of scraping all the wallpaper we decided to just leave the "brick" concrete!

We still have some "touch up" to do.  Paint, crown, baseboards, window casings.  Either way I am super excited for how far along we have come.  All four of us are living down here now.  The boys in the room which will remain their room, and Chris and I in the guest/craft room.  Hopefully I will get some before and after pictures soon.
