Drum Roll!
Check out our new floors.
While this was the least popular flooring choice on Facebook, Michael and I thought it suited the space best. For one, it is so dark down there, because there are only windows on one side since the basement is half underground. This color just really brightened up everything. It also seemed to work with almost any color of furniture. Since the furniture down there is a hodgepodge of things we've bought or been given, it was just the easiest. I also like the cabin look it seems to give the space. We are really happy with it.
Our kitchenette is starting to come together too.
I am so excited with how this is looking. It looks so much better than what it was before.
So, with the good news, come the bad news.
Once we had a new coat of paint up, we discovered that one of our walls was warped.
We got to thinking that worst-case scenario there was some sort of leak coming from upstairs, so we had to cut into our beautifully painted wall.
Turns out, there's a pipe right there with nowhere to go. We aren't sure if we never noticed it before or if it just got worse because of the cold temperatures or something else. Now, we have to figure out a solution, because we can't move the pipe. We are thinking we are just going to box it out in some way. Either way, a little bit frustrating.
Additionally, the painters noticed a discoloration in part of the ceiling they had just painted a few days ago. So, they came to the conclusion there was something wrong with our toilet in our master bathroom. So, we had to get a new one of those as well.
We are praying this is the end of our surprises!
