The time is finally here! The construction part of our basement is finished!! I named this post sneak peek because the carpet still needs to be installed next week. But, I couldn’t resist showing these pictures, since it now looks so much like a regular space. I will do a proper before and after once the carpet is in, but for now, here are the almost complete after pics…
We will truly have more storage than we know what to do with, but I am sure it will fill up quickly. Baskets are a wonderful thing, because anything can fill them and no one would be the wiser! We kept everything super light down here with the paint colors, since it can be a rather dark basement. The support posts are painted the same pale blue/gray as the walls, to help them blend in and fade away. In person, there is a definite difference between the wall color and creamy white trim, although it’s hard to see through the pictures. We have chosen a sandy/camel color for the carpet, which will work with our furniture and be an overall neutral choice. All of the doors and the stair railings were painted a dark gray/black. I love how that came out! The contractors doubted me on that decision, but in the end, they loved it! They might not think I am that crazy, after all. 🙂 I am over the moon excited to get this carpet installed. I am even more excited, though, to start using this space and make it our own. Count on many basement posts for the future, as I style this place up! To catch up on the beginning of this project, visit here.
Love all of the storage–and I'm sure you will, too! Great use of the space under the steps.
Looks great. The amount of storage is unbelievable…well done!

Really nice workable space, great job on your part, can't wait to see the carpet and colours you've chosen!
Amber, the space looks amazing and you're' not even done decorating it! I can't wait to see it all done! Looking forward to seeing the carpet.
We can't wait to see how you accessorize and bring this space to life Amber!
Wow, that's a lot of storage space! But I agree with everyone saying that it's great use of the space. That said, the basement looks great, Amber! It has a lot of potential for decorating too. I look forward to the reveal with all the furniture and décor. Thanks for sharing! -William@Up and Above Contractors
