Don’t adjust your monitors… Yes, the carpets and walls were GREEN!… YUCK!

After we got the basement cleaned up from the
sewage backup, we got to work repairing the damage.
After the clean up, the walls were repaired and rebuilt. All the basement walls were painted with “Ballet White” from Benjamin Moore.
The green carpet was torn up and replaced. We were not sad to see it go! The new carpet is much lighter and a neutral color. I also like the new carpet because it does not leave vacuum cleaner or footprint marks!

We decided to sell the pool table. With the pool table out of the space, we have so much more room!

Beside the stairs, this area seems to catch junk that was in transition. The tubs, boxes and bags are full of clothes and toys to get rid of in a garage sale. Right now, we have a futon against the wall. The futon works well as an extra bed when company comes over to stay the night.

Overall, our basement is more inviting and brighter. Even the kids enjoy playing in the basement because it is not “DARK down there”!
