Basement Family Room - Paint and Wood
Paint, wood and finishing touches..
If you missed Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 here are some links to go back and see how far this space has come.
We looked at several different paint colors.. we knew that we wanted a rustic space with a dark natural look. It came down to two colors; a bright wine color and a sage green color..
After paint came wood, wood, wood.. lots of wood. As we moved into the last phase of the family room construction which included staining a lot of boards and I mean a ton of boards. We tried out 12 different stains or stain combinations. We finally settled on two different looks. The lower walls were stained with a 3 equal part stain combination of American English, Pecan, and Ishpeming Pine making a chocolate brown color. We went with Red Cedar 7" wide rough boards. Sadly, the rough texture of the wood and deep color didn't allow for much of the wood grain to shine through but still really pretty. We finished up the lower walls with a 2" wide chair railing.
The second stain color was needed for the ceiling. We decided to go with 5" white cedar rough boards and stained them Ishpeming Pine stain. It is a beautiful orange toned stain. Ed installed insulation as he went.
The next step was to "build" in the entertainment center. Ed installed insulation behind new false wall and in the ceiling before putting the false wall in place. We went with the ceiling boards stained in same Ishpeming Pine color.
Last step will be staining the previously installed barn doors.. Will go with the same wall color.. That beautiful brown will be perfect..
The cost for this phase includes wood $943.39 and misc. materials including doors built in phase 2 for $1041.93.
Total space cost from start to finish is $2235.32. Well worth every penny for this beautiful family room.
