Turning our unfinished basement storm shelter into a cozy 70s den

We had a lot of storms this year (including softball-sized hail and a lightning strike to our house) so we’ve been spending way more time in the basement than we expected. It also became our dog’s safe space whenever he’s anxious, which is a lot these days.

We decided if we were going to spend so much time down there, we should make part of it less depressing. This last week we framed out one area and leaned into a cozy 70s lounge vibe to make use of some random MCM pieces we had in storage and leftover materials from my partner’s contracting jobs. Our home is mostly craftsman style, so the basement is our excuse to use the vintage odds and ends we’ve been hanging onto.

Also, I know it’s not recommended to ‘finish’ a century home basement, and we kept this in mind (no drywall, left gaps for airflow, dehumidifier running). Thankfully, our basement has very high ceilings and stayed dry too.

For your floor viewing pleasure

Not a lottery… we bought our NOLA (Bywater) 1835 home 2 years ago and are finally moving in.

Painted inside and out and added a garage but I thought I’d share the floors to start, lol. Refinished red pine.

Had to replace a segment of cast iron pipe.

Oh the joys of owning a hundred and five year old house.
I was walking from the kitchen into the living room and noticed a discolored spot in the plaster. I then proceeded to probe at it with my Swiss Army knife and discovered that the cast iron drain pipe for the upstairs bathroom was leaking.
Once I uncovered the pipe I discovered a crack that ran the entire segment of the pipe. This is my temporary repair until I get off work on Monday.

1848 Old Growth Floor lottery

After the crust was sanded away, the 1848 floors came up amazing. One coat sealer, 2nd coat oil poly gloss, final coat was an oil poly satin. Very stoked with how they turned out.
