Built-in Cabinets {Basement Update}

Over the last few weeks we have continued to make progress on the built-in cabinets in the basement. Here are a few quick pictures that show what we have been up to…

The base cabinets built and ready for primer and paint. (Yes, they will eventually have doors. That’s phase two. Or Ten. Or Twenty. Whatever. It will happen.)

Here’s the side panel of the cabinet on the left (it will show into the room). This cabinet will have bookshelves built above it.

The cabinet in the corner is where the TV will sit and the A/V components will go. More cabinets will be built above it too.  (That fun paint job will eventually be covered up.)

Sampling some stain colors on a scrap piece - we wanted dark, and the two on the right just didn't work.

The top of the cabinet on the right side has been stained and installed!  We bought the countertop at Ikea and we are planning to pick up more this weekend!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen the pictures below.



Is it time for carpet yet??  I can’t wait to start moving stuff back downstairs!
