In late February and early March, Brandon spent a lot of time creating a new space to work out in the basement. It was amazing to see the work room/storage area transform to a much more usable space. I dreamed it would be possible, but it turned out better than even I imagined. It is almost as if we gained an addition on our home without actually adding on.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was able to eliminate several bins. Once those were gone, and a few things moved to the attic above the garage we had a large open area. I was just imagining moving the exercise equipment in, but then we realized that that dirtiness of the room could be a real problem.
We decided to paint the walls and lay carpet tiles to really clean up the space. As usual, we didn't really take any before picture. I am sure at some point we have taken photos in our work room, but I could not easily find them.
In making this post I also realized that we haven't taken any photos of the big area now that it is no longer housing the exercise things. We have a little living room area and the whole basement functions much better.
I do have a during picture for you. Brandon did most of the work, but T helped paint a bit. Sadly she didn't change into paint clothes so her favorite pants now have more character.

T: The white looks so much better than the grey.

The food zone. I don't like shopping, so when I go I really stock up.
