We've been working hard on upgrading the living area in my boyfriend's basement, so much so that I'm still finding paint in my hair! We are trying to turn it into a speakeasy-type space with dark walls/ceilings and utilizing fun lighting schemes for flexibility. His space is split down the middle by the staircase. One half has been turned into a mini sports bar featuring his grandfather's antique wooden rolling bar, dartboard, two TV's (Go Sports!), a mini-fridge, microwave, and popcorn maker. Oh, and I can't forget the draught kegerator for nitro Guinness, of course. The other side features a 100-inch automatic projector screen and record player, both connected to the surround sound system and large down-feather couches to curl up in. We are wrapping up the projects and are excited to share what the final results are. Below is a list of all the things we used to make it come to life!
