Our basement walls finally have some colour!!! And Our basement walls finally have some colour!!! And that colour is Ghost Writer by Dulux to be exact 😁. Not sure how it got that name, but I'm really loving it. I was a little worried about selecting a colour for such a large area in our home considering I wasn't able to get a test can... But luckily it's worked out! It's a mid-tone greige/taupey colour and I think it's really going to look great once our basement is all done... 

Speaking of which...

We are almost done with our basement reno and I couldn't be more excited! (Except for the fact that we still have to purchase some new furniture which is a little tricky right now 😬).

This project has been almost 3 months in the making  and we are finally getting closer the finish line. Just a little bit more to go and we will be all done! (That is until we start tackling our next project πŸ˜†).
I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week because I've been busy renovating my basement" look πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. I think I can pull off being covered in paint (and dry wall dust)  pretty well by now πŸ™ƒ. Although this wall behind me doesn't look like much, it has actually come such a long way. It all started when I wanted to just rip off the old wallpaper one weekend. Now here we are two months later and still working away. Even though our basement is far from being complete, lots has been done! 
βœ”οΈ wallpaper removed 
βœ”οΈ textured ceiling removed
βœ”οΈ the ugly spotlights removed and replaced with potlights (Merry Christmas to me)
βœ”οΈ ceiling skimcoated
βœ”οΈ ceiling and walls primed (still working away on some touch ups)

Unfortunately we did not get as far as we thought this week due to a few hiccups along the way. But looking back it's amazing to see how much progress has been made! The next steps will be to paint the ceilings and walls and the the fun part - getting new furniture and redecorating! 

Also raise of hands if you've been with me since day one of this project! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈβœ‹. If you have, then you probably feel my pain πŸ˜‚. And if you haven't, make sure to check out my highlight reel!

This is my tree from last year - I decorated a lot This is my tree from last year - I decorated a lot more with red then! I definitely stuck more with the gold tones this year. Do you switch up the colour of your ornaments and decorations each year? PS I can't believe Christmas is this week! πŸ˜¬πŸŽ„
