The Inspiration

...for my floor.

This painted floor by Catherine Weis knocks my socks off!  While I won't have hardwood on my basement floor, I will stain the concrete with a charcoal stain, and I'm hoping I can pull off a design similar to this.  Amazing.

...for my door.

What's not to love about this door?  An old door hung above the doorway to a bathroom.  While I won't need a bathroom door for my space, I will need a door to conceal the entrance to what will remain the unfinished utility room.  If I can't find an old door, maybe I can make one.  We'll see!

...for my stairs.

Going down?  Delightfully so!  These stairs by Funky Junk Interiors inspired me to transform my own stairs.  Carpet, you've met your match.
