Going from carpet, to vinyl plank in the basement. What an upgrade! Also cleaned up and recovered the existing stairs with fresh paint and used the flooring to make our own stair treads.
A time lapse video will follow in the future to see the whole job.

This little project is almost at its finish, but we are waiting on some materials to become available, but we are so close! Check out the daily progress through the pictures!
These are Ikea cabinets that I used, to create a built in wall unit for their entertainment area. I also bulked out the gables to create a thick gable line and beef up the look of the cabinets. A custom countertop (due to height restrictions) and a built in fireplace for ambiance.

A couple years ago I did an accent wall for a customer who was expecting their first baby (the green wall) and sort of forgot about it. This year I had the chance to do another, more intricate wall for them (the blue one) and I have to say, I love jobs like this. It's interesting, takes a decent amount of brain power to figure it all out; but once it comes together, looks fantastic!

I will have a time lapse of the wall installation in the future as well, so keep tuned for that!
