Nicole! We’re going thru a similar basement reno ourselves! Can’t wait to see how your space progresses. (And a belated congrats on expecting baby #2!)
Hey!
Make sure you mark where all the water pipes are running so you don’t damage them when you add trim or do any cutting/nailing in the drywall later on.
i love a great transformation…nothing can beat that of an unfinished basement. can’t wait to see the finished product. my only advice is to make sure that the space is well heated. not much fun if you’re freezing down there!
I love the box that reads ORGANIZE in the first picture! You must be excited to have progressed so far. Aren’t you already working on a very important creative process? ;-)
WOW that’s a lot of progress! I’m still amazed at the amount of items you had to carry out of the basement to even get the remodel started!
Thought of you as I’ll be at IKEA in Schaumburg yet again this Saturday morning with my sister in law. We’re getting some surprise items for a family member….and rain or snow, we’ll be at IKEA.

Did your contractor grind down the floor? Was your floor sloped in places or were you just trying to address the evenness of the new concrete patches?

I’m so jealous! I’ve got a full basement that I’d love to see finished off some day. But for now, I’ll have to make do with watching your progress!

I know, isn’t that funny? Yep, I’m gathering ideas and playing around with designs.

Congrats on the progress! But what I really came to ask is: Have you seen this? http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20821&ca=4&utm_source=coy2011art

Yes! I just wrote about the Pantone colors today.

I am so envious of that empty basement picture, I am still on the before picture. LONG way to go, but this gives me hope!

Lookin’ good. Say, what is your ceiling height from concrete to ceiling joists? What will the finished ceiling height be?
Making it Lovely
About 7′ (6.5′ under the soffits).

We finished our basement last summer. What a project! Isn’t it amazing how framing can totally bring the idea to life?! Good luck!

It looks exhausting!! I hope your pregnancy is going great because it must be draining to have to even look at everything going on.
