New Bed

Been looking for a storage-style bed for a while.  Not quite willing to drop $2k for a proper scandinavian platform bed yet, but this one I found on CL for only $250.  Once I got it I realized I should do something to dress up the bedroom, so I got some more of the accent wall gray paint, and did one wall.  Haven't had time to cleanup much yet, but here's what it looks like.
I also decided to get rid of the so-so wall light, and wired the dome light directly into it.  This is temporary, I have ideas for a light bar, but for now this works.

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.

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