Basement Rec Room Status: Work In Progress
We don’t spend a ton of time down here right now. Since the upstairs is taking the majority of our manpower, this room is used mostly for watching movies, napping (if you’re Ian), folding laundry, and indoor doggy playtime. See that giant HVAC running through the back wall? We’re going to build floor-to-ceiling built-ins back there, so we have increased storage and we can hide that eyesore. I’m also looking forward to styling the tv area more, too.
Here is what it used to look like:
Since purchasing, work we have done on the basement rec room includes…
- Rip out old carpet
- Paint the paneled walls & trim
- Add new carpet
Work we have yet to do on the basement rec room includes…
- Add recessed lighting to ceiling
- Re-mud ceiling drywall joints (poor job by previous owner)
- Add floor-to-ceiling cabinetry over exposed HVAC
