Temporary Fix II

After days of painting, tile removal, cleaning, and more painting, we have a usable basement!

After removing carpet & tile:

 With cement stain....whose color was chosen on a whim....sigh.....I think I liked the black better.

with sealer......which made the floors look really blue.....

And finally........we have our basement back! One half contains our ping pong table, while the other is our new TV watching space.

Huzzah for free furniture! And for getting the TV out of our living room. Hopefully I won't watch it as often this way.
