Basement Renovations: Fireplace & Doors

A lot more progress this week on the basement! 

My dad came over and knocked out the fireplace wall in about 5 minutes, like it was no big deal! I LOVE it! The mantle still needs another coat of stain and a coat of clear, that's why it's a bit lighter than the shelves. Eventually, Chad wants to paint the vent to blend in more. 


We got all the doors primed and 1 coat of paint on them! Just one more coat to go!

The bookshelves and wine cabinets have their final coats and are looking fabulous. The glass shelves for the wine cabinets have been ordered and should be in next week. 


The stair railing got finalized and it looks great!

The carpet has been ordered. As soon as we have word it's been delivered to the warehouse we can set up installation.


I installed a couple door knobs and the closet light is in.

Dad built the shelves for the bar and he's working on staining those.


Chad hung the mirror and the towel/toilet paper roll bars hung in the bathroom! Bathroom is done! =)

My dad got started on the counter top. He built the frame and put the wonder board down. This is what the tile will go on.  He also got a little bit of the tile started =)


We did two MAJOR Lowe's trips this week but I'm pretty sure we have purchased nearly everything we need to finish this basement off. (I'm sure there will be small things here and there we will need) But for the the most part I think the large expenses are done! I'm not sure if we should do a dance or cry....
