Basement Remodel

Noel and I have been wanting to remodel our basement since we moved in 11 years ago. As you can see from this picture, when we bought the house the basement was very dark and outdated with wood paneling walls and brown/orange/yellow shag carpet.
BEFORE
We finally got the inspiration and had the money (sorta) to complete the project. We stripped out all of the paneling and put up drywall on all the walls and ceiling. Put in lots of new lighting to brighten things up, new carpeting and new windows.
We are so excited at how it came out. It now is a warm and inviting space that we can play, relax and spend time together. It is especially nice to have another place to play now that the weather is getting worse. The only thing left to do is decorate the space, which I am horrible at, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Here is a picture of the completed remodel without furniture.

And this is the after with furniture.

I love it! That is how our basement looked too, not inviting at all, wasted space. You guys did great.
