It took us about 6 months to finish our basement from framing to completion. My husband I did all the work ourselves, which we are really proud of. We also would like to thank everyone on this site for your help and advise.

clever use of columns around metal posts. nice mitering of the trim. look'n really sharp!

Thank you! We actually used 1 x 6 MDF with 1/4 round. Glued and nailed together it gave the column a rounded effect. The top and bottom we used crown moulding and filled the inside of the column with foam. We were quite pleased with the way the columns turned out.

Regards,
Kim

real nice...like your choice of colors and design. any advice for a newbie trying to do the same?
We took our time from the actual planning of the layout to the products we used to finish it. We did ALOT of leg work, going around our area, checking out products, costs, the best product to use in the basement. My husband did major research on the electrical and framing, asking local trades and of course the wonderful DIY chatroom!

If you have anymore questions about the products we used I would be glad to help you.

Do the doors go to a laundry room or garage? Just curious.

Great job, I love it. Hubby just walked in and said "oh crap, what are we building now?" We don't have a basement so he's in the clear. :)

Do you have furniture in there yet? I'd love to see it 'done up'.
The doors go to a bathroom (not done yet), furnace/storage room and a bedroom /sewing, crafts etc.

I have posted more pictures in My Album

Thank you for your comments!
