Remember this? Not a happy place. Kevin from Thou Swell used a single word to perfectly describe it – “claustrophobic”.
Now, with bright white walls, new floors and modern touches, this bright and modern basement is the polar opposite from how it started.
Enjoy this little taste of the renovation below, but for more pics and tips head over to Wayfair where I share the complete reveal.
We ripped out walls and dingy carpet, chiselled concrete supports, laid new floors, ripped out new floors, put down fresh concrete then laid the floors down again…etc etc. All in 4 and a half months. Now that it’s over and rented we still have a hard time believing it’s done, still waking up on weekends thinking “What’s next on the basement to do list?” It will take a while to get used to having free time again, but are we every thankful for it.
Want to see a ton more pictures? I’m sharing the entire bungalow basement renovation reveal today on Wayfair. Head over to check out before and after floor plans, learn about the process, how each room came together, and tips on what you should definitely do (and not do!) if you’re attempting a basement renovation of your own.
See you there!
Awesome!! Congrats – Love the grey and white bathroom – it looks great! Time to put your feet up and relax 🙂
It’s my favourite room of the whole space! I’m super jealous the tenants get an awesome bathroom that’s nicer and bigger than ours!
ahhh love it Tan!!! looks so amazing 🙂
Thanks so much Laura!
Love it all! I’m drooling over your floors! Beautiful!
They were actually our third choice but are my total favourite now! So glad we went with them
What a gorgeous change – your new tenants are so fortunate!!
They are really loving the space! I got to take a peek the other day and it’s so nice to see furniture and the space properly being used.
WOW! It looks so great! You did a wonderful job.
Thanks Kate! Now I can’t wait to work on our space upstairs!
Wow, that looks awesome! 🙂 When do we get to move in? 😉
Hah you let me know if you guys move back down to Vic and I’ll let you know if it’s available 😉
Tan, this looks gorgeous! Love those dark wood floors. What an amazing transformation!
Thanks so much! Yes the floors are my absolute fave. We bought a couple extra boxes just in case we ever need to replace a portion. You never know!
