From Messed to Impressed: A Total Basement Makeover

by on Apr 19, 2011

I’m always a sucker for a good makeover (home related or not), so it’s safe to say that this basement renovation is blowing my mind!    

I’ve been following this renovation from Nicole Balch, a talented designer and big-deal blogger (Making It Lovely, anyone?), since she first unveiled the “before” photos in November.  Fast forward a few months (and what I can only imagine were more than a few late nights) and you have what you see before you: a total basement renovation complete with art on the walls.

I’ve never renovated a home before, but completing something of this scale in a single Winter seems like a big feat, am I right?  One of the features I love most is the octagon-shaped tile used in the bathroom and laundry room.  It’s such a fun, playful detail that adds a lot of personality to the space!

To read about the whole process, including fantastic design boards and a break down of everything that went into it (and more photos, of course), check out Making It Lovely!
