It’s official!  We are officially done with our basement remodel project!  It took about a year from start to official finish, even though we’ve been barely working on it for the last several months.  Here are some of the final jobs to put a bow on this project.

Finishing up the bathroom.  Plumbing the sink.

Backsplash and mirror are up.  Well done Kathryn on the design!

Shower is fully functional.

Next up, the laundry room cabinets and sink.  We had original aspirations to reuse the old steel cabinets and create a retro themed laundry room, complete with a black and white floor.  However, as time progressed, that idea fell out of favor for a more modern, clean look that matched the style of the rest of the basement.  So the last remaining steel cabinets were taken to the recycle and new ones were purchased instead.

We also decided for a new sink as opposed to the old cast iron sink.  Just a note, we really love the other cast iron sinks in the house and would have no hesitation putting a new one in a future kitchen.

After lots of carpentry, plumbing, and other odd jobs, the laundry room sink and cabinets are done!  Here they are.  

The laundry chute was another fun project.  The laundry chute existed pre basement remodel.  It dumped into the rightmost cabinet.  We really liked having the chute, the only problem was we deleted the portion of the wall where the chute dumped out.  So, we came up with a way to put a little door on the ceiling.  Pictures are worth a thousand words here.

Last, but not least, the handrail had to go back up.

Yeah yeah yeah!  Here is a quick tour of the finished basement project.  Thanks so much to all the people who helped with the project.  Especially Kevin!  We couldn’t have done it without you.
