Basement pics

So, our basement is ALMOST complete. We still need some more trim, a few doors, toilet, and decor (sectional, area rug, coffee table, desk, and art for the walls). Here are some recent pics of the basement (I think the last time I did a basement post we were still mudding).

We now have hardwood flooring.



We got this engineered hardwood from Lumber Liquidators in Pickering for a steal of a deal. Let's just say that my hubby is a great negotiator :) If your looking for awesome flooring, I suggest checking them out. Since its a basement, we didn't want dark flooring...it would feel to much like a cave then. And we didn't want rug because let's face it, rugs are gross and with kids in the house it wouldn't take long for it to get stained.

We have a brick wall!









One of our fav parts about the basement. When we first started renos, Andrew knew he for sure wanted a brick wall. Again, the basement is HIS area, so he decided on the brick, flooring, trim...everything. Grouting a brick wall in a basement is no easy task my friends. It took him almost a month to do it, but it was so worth it in the end.










We have lights, and working surround sound. It can get very loud in the Hodgson house, especially when Coral is having a dance party.




He chose a basic high trim. Looks sleek and clean.




Guest room. Sorry about the mess. Coral currently has her ball pit in that room. This is the accent wall I did for Andrew. He picked it out, I put it up.




The rest of the room is white. As you can see we still need a door and trim in this room.




And the bathroom needs a toilet.

Andrew and his brother have been enjoying playing video games in the basement for a while now, and when Matt and Christy came they stayed down there. We are loving the extra space it gives us. Now to finish and furnish it.....
