Basement Reveal

Sunday, May 7, 2017


When my husband saw the picture of the basement of this house he was convinced we should not buy it. I knew the wallpaper was loud, but there was a chance that this space could be transformed!

Our choices in paint color were teal ocean (think bright aqua), nightfall, and fair isle blue.
 
From left to right: Teal Ocean, Nightfall, and Fair Isle Blue.
 
We ended up going with fair isle blue. It's a teal I can deal with. I actually love it! A quick note about the paint: We've been using Benjamin Moore's Natura due to the low odor. Fair isle blue only came in Aura. Aura is a little more expensive and has an odor, but we felt it adhered much better and we needed less paint.
Now it's time to make this room the office/gym!
We will have owned our home for one year next month. So far we have taken down wallpaper in 4 rooms and painted 6 rooms. Only one room left to take down wallpaper!
