Fresh Coat of Paint

Once the drywall was taped, mudded, and sanded, it was time for a coat of paint.  Since I am planning to use the walls as the backdrop in several areas, that meant finding a color to represent the sky.  I decided to go with a Behr color called After Rain.  Now that the room is painted, I have a better sense of the size of the space and how best to use it.  In the pictures below, you can see the line where the carpet was removed.  This is as far as the layout will extend into the remainder of the basement.

By the end of the month, my plan is to have the drop ceiling installed in the new section and all of the lighting and wiring completed.
