I had been complaining that I hated when I had to run indoors because our basement is painted battleship grey and it's dark, windowless and a little scary. So Shane decided to make my little corner more enjoyable for me! He let me pick the paint and the pictures and everything but he did most of the work. He even made the TV shelf himself! All in all it only cost about $150 so I'm really pleased and excited!

So here's the process in pictures!

Before:
Left Wall:

Center Wall:

Right Wall:

Primer:

Right Wall (still original color) and Center Wall (Behr Cornerstone):

Center Wall and Left Wall (Behr Rejuvanate):

TV Shelf DBF made (painted a brown we already had):

Posters I made (Green is still blank):

Decal on center wall:

Decals on left wall:

Pretty much done with mats and all:

Finished center wall (DBF hung the sign crooked to make a runner going uphill... LOL...and that's our freezer on the right):

That is going to be SO NICE in the winter! I can barely imagine wanting to brush off the car, heat it up and wait to go to the gym! What a great bf!

He did a great job. How sweet of him to do that for you. It's a big improvment too!

Thanks for looking everyone!

Sarah- I realized that me and Gem moving in has been a really big change for Shane. So I'm going to give it awhile and try not to let my baby fever get the best of me before he has a chance to get settled in and see how much fun being a parent really can be.
