Listening Room Paint

First coat of paint on in the basement listening room. Shows the potential, but it will definitely need a 2nd coat:

Electronics room too:

Next comes trim and covering the ceiling.

A pretty big improvement considering it looked like this when I moved in:

And until recently it looked like this:

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.

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.

Finished the primary framing. Will finish the interior drywall and electrical tomorrow. The shell is made from 3/4" subfloor, and I'm putting drywall over it. Probably overkill, but should make for a very solid, durable frame. Most of the interior will be white drywall, but I have some left over hardwood flooring sample that has a really pretty pattern when stained and coated, I have a sample in place in the top image. Won't be able to do the exterior drywall until I get the electrical and structural inspection done.
