Basement Reno's

The basement!! Since we forgot to take before pictures, just imagine the ugliest, darkest dungeon of an 80's basement imaginable. Dark wood panelling, fake brick, and bare bulb lighting. Got that image?? Ok now look on.

This is the living room. We chose white and what I like to call "contemporary white", which is basically off-white. It may be a little boring sounding, but it is just what the doctor (or designer in this case... me) prescribed(sp?). I think it is very fresh, bright, and airy.
This is the kitchen, well a corner in the kitchen. I didn't take a picture of the cupboards and appliances because we didn't change them. Still avacado green appliances and 80's dark oak cupboards. Can you hear the dissapointment in my voice? Oh and also the tiles in the kitchen which you can see are kinda sucky. But I can live with them, or rather, or rentor can live with them.
This is the bedroom, which has also been painted in the contemporary white and white. You can't really see them for the light, but there are new sconces on the wall which I really like. I love the pattern of light they cast on the wall. I think this room could use a bit of colour with a new bedspread... Thats my 2 cents.
And this is a work in progress. the bathroom. Mom here is just finishing removing the crazy blue wallpaper. We discovered mold under the lino and up the walls so dad is fixing that.

So how does this compare with the picture you had in your head??
