And not a girlie weight in the place! Love the boxing gloves and hitting thingy!
Panelling is a pain, eh? I have it in my dog's bedroom and want to paint it. I may wait on that for awhile then. Or maybe hire someone.
It definitely looks better - more like some place you want to spend some time. Your pug is hilarious. Such funny little dogs.
Kathryn, I think I'm getting the Tileflex flooring (http://www.greatmats.com/products/tileflex.php). The only problem is, I don't have a sump pump in my basement so I do get water maybe once a year if it rains really hard.
I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take--I love the room but what I've done has done absolutely nothing for re-sale value (unless a short athletic person wants to buy the place ). I think this stuff would help that, plus really make the room look beautiful.
P.S. the room is blue & green ladies! Only the trim is white!
Laura, that Tileflex flooring should be fine if it gets wet. (We looked at it as an option for our floor.) I don't know what kind of sub-floor they recommend, but I remember that it was an important part of the installation. I also think you can unsnap and take up the floor if you have to get at water underneath (ugh -- it wouldn't be fun).
It's great that you can do this stuff yourself. I'm not very handy (DH is even less so), so there isn't a job out there -- no matter how simple -- that we can't turn into an ordeal!
Needless to say, we had to hire somebody to do our basement.
I'll have to look closer at the pix to see the wall color. Thanks for sharing!
