Christmas Drywall

Finished up enough of the drywall last night that I have have a fully usable theater:

And, I have the office side facing the family room done:

Unfortunately I ran out of drywall screws so I wasn't able to put the final panel up on the stairwell, but this at least finally gives me a real perspective for the size of each room. It looks like they will work out very well, however that may have to wait until I get some furniture in there to know for sure, but that won't be for a while.
The original landing room, which you can see here, was very small and unusable:

The original family room, shown here:

was very long and skinny, and I was worried that I might still have that issue with the new layout, but by shortening the landing room, it's made the rooms much more livable.

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.

Basement Bathroom Progress

Just for reference, here is the original, claustrophobic, non-code-compliant basement bathroom. And here is progress on the much larger bathroom, even though to overall footprint is the same size. The shower has been expanded to fill the entire width, and the ceiling raised in the shower area. The original was a generic shower stall, and was very dark and cramped. This will be much brighter and while the dimensions are small, won't feel nearly as cramped.

Kitchen Progress

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
