We have this unfinished basement that looks like this. Half basement has framed and drywalled by the previous owners.
Since our son is turning 2 years old soon and winter is approaching we thought how nice it would be to change this space to a large playroom.
The first thing to tackle would be to paint the large metal support beams. Since they were rusty, we had to primer them first with Rustoleum. The cost for this was approx. $9.
This is such a great product, lightly sand and paint. You can see some drywall sitting in the lower right corner of this photo above... We bought 5 sheets of drywall at approx. $4 each. And used a drywall knife and screws we already had, free!
Here is the paint color for the metal beams. We used Lowes paint approx $9.98 for a quart.
Wow, what a difference color makes :) See the wicker chairs I am going to update these as well, but that is for another post.
I love seeing the exposed wood rafters against the red and metal air ducts make it seem industrial and gives it a lofty feel.
Pretty cool. Oh and here is where I got my inspiration for the red metal beams.
