A full recap of my DIY home gym renovation in the basement! #homegym #basementrenovation #diy 
last year my basement looked like this I ripped up the old carpet and baseboards and installed new lvp flooring and then I decided to turn this area into a home gym I wanted it to feel separate from the rest of the so I decided to create a decorative glass wall using wood and plexiglass then we lived with the gym just like this for a little while which honestly looked great but I really wanted this gym to feel sexy like this so I decided to put wood on the walls for as little money as possible so I bought 16 4×8 sheets of white oak plywood and cut them all down into 6-in planks and started installing them on the walls around the gym I also ran electrical on this wall because I thought how cool would it be to add some Moody Lighting on these beautiful wood planks then I mixed up the most beautiful stain color and applied it to all the wood and almost burned my house down because I forgot about my stain rags in a bag but thankfully we caught it just in time and the wood walls look so good I finished up by adding baseboards and crown molding and then swapped out for a new light fixture I was going for sexy and I think I pretty much nailed it it feels very Swanky Hotel gym and I cannot believe that this is mine
