Theater Changes

Decided I wanted to increase the visible size of the theater room.  Also knew that I wouldn't get around to doing any final work on it for a while, so I wanted to make it a little nicer.  So I removed the base shelves and setup the tv to hang on the wall.  Here is what it looked like before:
And here is what it looks like now.

Only downside is that it exposes the scraps of carpet previously hidden under the cabinets.  But the overall look is much nicer, and the room feels much bigger, where it was feeling cluttered before.  This should tide me over till I get around to really finishing the room.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath.  Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down.  Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad.  Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat.  Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish.  Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.
