Beginning the basement transformation

Just started reno on our townhouse basement this weekend. The previous owners put up some shabby wood paneling which was grubby, but made for a pretty easy tear down. It took us about a day to get everything removed, giving us a good head start for the rebuild and sheetrock that will come next.

Me and the mister were fortunate to spend our honeymoon in beautiful Kauai, Hawaii. It was tropical and perfect in so many ways. The lifestyle on Kauai was low-key and felt much like the small towns that sprinkle the outskirts of Minneapolis.

From the Carlson bathroom: Mixing patterns

Not sure why, but I've never been one to mix patterns. Slowly warming up to it. Photo Oct 15, 5 03 38 PM
