Basement Before and After Pictures

 Okay, so I forgot about the floor in the last post.  OH MY GOD the floor.  Under the carpet and tiles, the previous owners painted the concrete floor red.  RED!  And it was not proper floor paint or whatever.  It literally came up if it got wet.  You couldn't walk on it or else you would have red icky socks.  To do the whole floor, it probably took me over 50 buckets of water.  I could only do little sections before I had to change the water out.  Can't clean up a floor with dirty water ya know?  So here are some lovely pictures of the floor for you.

The tiny area that got mopped

 The floor was a giant PITA.  I HAD to mop up all the red otherwise it would bleed through when I tried to paint it with concrete floor paint.  Also, since I previously painted the utility area floor, I used the rest of the bucket that I had and bought a new one as well.  It was pre-mixed, same exact thing, but it was 2 different colors so to speak.  So even though I painted a portion of the bar area floor, I had to go back over it with the new paint because of the color.

 
 So without further adieu, here are the before and afters:

Stairs got painted,
and new stair treads

 

 

 

This was behind the bar,

I would like to build something similar

An angle that I didn't get a before shot of,
