Met Monday - Corner of the basement



Today the wonderful Susan @Between Naps On The Porch
is hosting Metamorphosis Monday.

I mentioned a little over a week ago that we were having
a concrete overlay done over some old, ugly tile in a corner of our basement.

It was solid but definitely from the 80's and UGLY ...



The concrete overlay was done right over the top of the old tile
and it was a two day process.
We LOVE how it turned out!!!




This was the view from the laundry room before...



And the view from the laundry room after we moved the
kitchen corner bench, table and chairs down here to become our new game area.



This was the view from the tv room before...



and after...



I still have some decorating to do and will
update you on that soon.




To enjoy more 'Mets' please visit Susan's blog

Susan, thank you for hosting this fun event!

Tomorrow I'll be hosting 'Three Or More' - Tuesday.
For anyone that does not know about 'Three Or More',
it's a weekly event I host where you can share items
that you have three or more of.
This could be a collection,
three pictures of something,
three siblings or more ...the possibilities are endless.
If you'd like to participate,
my post will be up Monday November 9th by 10PM
and you can add your 'Three Or More' post through MckLinky.
I'm looking forward to all of your entries.

Oh, and please don't forget;

Looks good, Tam! We just finished part of our basement..we used the floating floor..And I have drawn a blank as how to decorate 800 sq ft..
Looks very bare!
