Time for a new project

See this beauty of a basement? Ahh, the orange shag, the wood paneling, it just takes you back doesn't it? I feel like we could film an episode of That 70's  Show down here.

This is our last bit of the house to tackle. Right away when we bought the house, we were on a roll. We ripped off paneling, ripped up the smelly carpet and were really cleaning the basement up. Then life got in the way. We became more and more busy and we spent less time in the basement.

Now, with the summer heat ahead of us, we're determined to make this portion of the house liveable. We still have yet to get air conditioning, so until we do, the basement is going to be our sanctuary. 

So this weekend my plans include cleaning up our mess of a basement to get ready for some drywall that will be installed where we ripped up the old paneling. I really wanted to paint the rest of the paneling this summer, but it looks like we'll have to wait for that until next year now. I'm really excited to get down there and decorate. This long weekend will be perfect for some basement renovations.
