Basement Painting

We're set to close on the 15th of October, so I'm getting a little braver with my fixes and updates.  I realize I want a little experience with the new airless sprayers before I tackle painting the exterior of the house.  I also know that once I pull down the ceiling tiles in the basement, I'll want something to make it look decent while I'm working on the wiring and rearranging the upstairs.  I thought I'd do a dark paint on the exposed wood.  I'd seen pictures of that done in basements before and liked the look.  The basements in this house are about 8" tall, a little lower than that when duct work or plumbing is a factor, so while not low, it can't hurt to have a dark look to improve the height of the ceiling.

All torn up.  I can't work to remove that vent pipe until I have enough time this weekend to deal with any potential roof leaks, so it will stay there for a few days.  I really needed to know what was behind the cabinets, and for some reason I lost the hot water to the sink when I pulled the old line.  I'm betting some junk came loose can got up into the valve there.  So, I decided to kill a few birds with one stone.  Tear the old cabinets out, verify the state of the plumbing, put the cabinets in an arrangement matching the current layout plan, live with that for a little while to see if it's the layout that I want to stick with. Here is the result with all of the cabinets in place Based on initial evaluation, I think this layout really works.  This shrinks the kitchen slightly, but it feels more usab...
