I took this week off. so. like any sane person, i spent the entire week re-doing my basement. It's started as a "wood paneled 1970's rec room". and it ended as a "white paneled 2007 rec room".














Here's BEFORE..
















More before....including the famous "beer fridge".

















Ellie cleaned out the fridge. I didn't realize that we had THIS many condiments! wow.


















Mom and Dad pitched in this week too. When you paint wood paneling, you need to paint EVERY stripe to make it white. this took all day wednesday.

















While we were working, the heater gave out. we got the tank filled (someone forgot to check the fuel gauge). and it started working again. then, later that night it died AGAIN! half a day and 100 dollars later, the heat was restored. ugh.

















Since it was cold without heat, Georgie decided to rest her head on the flourescent light! this can't be safe OR healthy. at least she'll have a nice tan.

















Bundled up staying warm, and painting...and painting..

















Two days and 6 gallons later...the final peice of masking tape comes down!














Pretty stairs...ooooooohh.
