Flooring

The house originally had some cheap bamboo flooring in the kitchen area that I had removed and installed in the basement theater and hallway.  Instead, I decided to pull it up and install it as a temporary solution in the sunken area of the living room.
In doing this I also removed the last part of the step leading into the sunken area.  I pretty much just slapped the planks in there to see how it would look, they aren't installed well, just enough to make better than a semi-painted concrete floor.

I plan to take the carpet that was in there and put it in the home theater.  Never cared for the feel of wood in the basement, the carpet is nicer.  Having hardwood upstairs and carpet in the basement makes for a nice complement.

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.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
