Before and after
 

Six months ago my DH and I hired someone to finish the basement where i do all my sewing and quilting.He told us that it's going to be ready in a month.Guess what! After 3 months he left us[ATTACH=CONFIG]500198[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500199[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500200[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500201[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500202[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500203[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]500204[/ATTACH] without finishing the job .Since we were short of money we decided to finish it ourselves.And here it is!

Beautiful room!

You guys did a great job. My husband and I do all our own renovations. We are too cheap to pay someone else to do something we can do ourselves. And the feeling of accomplishment when you are finished is absolutely wonderful! Love your new space.

Sorry for your troubles but it came out great. That is one light and bright basement.

How lucky you are to have such a great place to create and that you and your husband were talented to finish the job. It looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have certainly credated a beautiful space! You did a great job and should be proud.

Your room looks great, you must be very happy! I am sorry that you have the extended completion time. It seems to be the norm in construction. We had a rather extensive amount of work done to our house and I asked if we could get a completion bond on it. The contractor was very insulted, said they don't do bonds because they never go over the time they promise. (I handled property claims for a large insurance company, so I knew that was seldom the case.) It was only a couple weeks over, so I wasn't too concerned. But 2 months over, I would have been crazy. It must be great being able to finish it yourself.

That is an awesome space I could only dream of having. You are so blessed!! Enjoy!!

Now that you're done, you can come to my house and fix up a sewing area for me! Great job and I know that you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Good job! We just started a basement remodel ourselves - last weekend we framed a small bathroom and closet. We did a pretty good job if I do say so myself!

Congrats on the great finish! What fun to have such a nice sewing space.

beautiful space. bet you can get a lot more sewing done in this room

Beautiful space, happy quilting!

You have a beautiful place to sew and create congratulations.

Sorry about your contractor issues seems like for every really good one there are 2 bad ones. Be sure to lodge complaints in every possible venue particularly the contractors board hopefully you can save someone else from the same troubles.

Looks fantastic. So bright and organized.

I'm another voice in the chorus: Great space and great job!

Applause! Applause! Applause! Give yourselves pats on your backs! You did a great job. Hope you didn't pay him full price upfront. If you did take him to court. In the meantime, enjoy your work. Your room is beautiful.

Turned out beautiful!!!

Congratulations! Awesome room. I had the same experience with a kitchen addition/remodel. It's still not done after 6 years and 3 remodelers .... the last two were upset that I would not allow them to tear out what the previous one had done and that nothing was square. It's a 65-year-old house !!!!

Love it!! It's gorgeous!! :)

What a wonderful place to sew. Enjoy! Luann

Oh, isn't that a pretty space. I love the windows you made too. (I'm assuming they are faux). Enjoy!

Nice guy..............but you & your DH have done a terrific job finishing it yourselves.

What a lovely place to sew, you both did a great job.

WOW! What an amazing transformation. Great before and after! Congratulations on a job well done! Beautiful quilts too.

Very nice space! Congrats!

Beautiful room. You both do nice team work.

I love how you decorate your wall with quilts.

Great job, be proud of yourselves for doing so well, and I am green, to have all that space, I would not know how to act.

beautiful completion, congratulations

You did a wonderful job! I love the quilt hanging on the wall over the 2 machines.

Very nice sewing space....

Beautiful sewing space you and your husband completed.

That looks wonderful. Cheery and bright, well organized, well stocked. Bravo.

Wow! Congratulations on finishing the job yourself. You have a beautiful place to create.

Nicely done!!

Looks like the three month wait was worth it!!!

That is such an awesome space & you & Hubby can be proud of what you accomplished!
