A Vintage Basement We recently gave our vintage basement (circa, 1928 to be exact) a glow up. Did I use that term correctly? I don’t even know. But I did recently get to do a fit check with our teen so feeling very in lately. Anyway, I am sure I have shared that we were constantly hemming and hawing over redoing the basement. I loved the color, but it felt like we needed to move the basement from our kids’ younger years to be more in line with the current needs of our family.
