This is my living area obviously (minus kitchen and bathroom) . Moved down here from my previous bedroom which was very small, later taken over by younger cousin last September. Been doing a little work here and there, and so far its going pretty well. The ceiling is 7 1/2 feet from the floor, and its @27ft by @23ft. I painted the concrete walls white and painted the cement flooring gray. Also added carpeting (since the flooring is a little bumpy, I didnt even bother going all out with carpets) I dont plan on adding any sheetrock to the walls cuz I dont wanna risk water damage (FYI concrete absorbs water and hence my basement is underground, the walls absorb the water from the ground and the walls stay
SLIGHTLY damp which isnt really visible or noticable) . I might add removable padding to the ceiling to cover up the wires, exposed lights, and pipes. I also got an 8 ft long executive desk coming here next week wooo. Still gotta neaten up the wires but next thing to do is move my sister's computer desk upstairs to her room, then Im gonna add in a "lounge" which will include a cpl loveseats, another TV, pool table (and the beer fridges shown in last pic)

Then the basement is pretty much mine for now until I buy a house. I pretty much have to deal with the laundry room being there along with low-hanging pipes and the furnace which is ok. BTW, most of the stuff seen in the pictures came from my job
