Normandy Park Restoration

Finally making progress on the basement rooms.  Got the first coat of paint up on the bedroom.

Getting the mud on

Got the basement bedroom all cleared out and ready to start mudding.  Need to have it done at the same time as the listening room so that I can get the carpet installed.

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:

Since I'd gotten rid of the color accent wall in the living room, the plan was to use that color on the wall of windows.  I put up a first, sloppy coat of paint to see how it looks.  Here is the before:  And the after: There are still a lot of spots where the white is showing through, as it needs a proper 2nd coat, and some edge work.

Had to cut big holes in the living room accent wall to run the wiring for the track lighting.  After patching it I was left with this. By that time I'd done the main mudding.  Got it all finished and painted. Went back to white for this wall.  The outside wall, with the windows will get the darker accent treatment.  I also pulled down the floating shelves, as I need to move them about 1/2 inch out to clear the wall better.

Tired of doing drywall, and had some inspiration on how to install the nook shelving in the master bedroom with hidden hardware.  The end result came out quite well.
