Before John and I moved into this house, we had a lot of painting to do. Every room was a different color, and we wanted a neutral palette. Well, with all the work we did, we decided just to skip the basement.... Until now!
First, a look at the paint that needed doing:
 |
| The walls were this periwinkle color and a royal blue, with painter's tape that had been left on for who knows how long. Pulling off the tape took some of the drywall with it! |
 |
| Then, I spackled the portions of the wall that the tape destroyed... |
 |
| And finally primed the whole room. |
Here are the shocking before and after pictures :)
 |
| Before: Clearly, this room was one we didn't enjoy spending time in. It was ugly and an absolute mess! |
 |
| After: Clean, crisp walls and a treadmill! Talk about new motivation to use the room! |
 |
| And I added a bulletin board for workouts and motivation :) |
 |
| Before: This was also the room where arts and crafts went to die. Don't judge ;) |
 |
| After: A place to store our rock climbing gear! |
It was a lot of work, but well worth it! I love using the room now for my morning workouts. :) Have a great weekend!!
Wow! Looks like a lot of work. I bet you have a great sense of accomplishment now.
