My basement is half finished and half unfinished. I replaced the carpet on the finished side when I moved in a year and a half ago, and after finishing my master's, another teaching endorsement, and a year adjusting to a new grade level, I finally have the time and energy to devote to making the space a crafting/office area! I am planning to get laminate countertop at Lowe's and use it across filing cabinets to create a long workspace. I have a large wall unit for storage and an old kitchen table that will stay down there.
There is beadboard halfway up the wall that I will paint bright white and I'm thinking about colors for the top half. Don't want anything too dark - trying to keep it as "warm" as possible. Any suggestions for a favorite beige or light blue/gray/green?
Would love to hear what you love about your craft space, or what you would include in a dream space... Or, what you wish you would never have done!

Not that I dislike brown, but for a room in the basement with only two windows for natural light--umm, no. The top part of the walls was already white, so I repainted that with my preferred white (Benjamin Moore Atrium White) and painted the bottom a very light bisque/tan color (Benjamin Moore Soft Satin) and I love it. It's light enough to brighten it up down there but different enough from the white to give some contrast. With the white part of the walls closer to the overhead lights, I think the walls help reflect more of the light into the room.
