Room Preparation - Walls

I have a walk out basement and when the house was built I had the framed walls finished with sheet rock and texture. To complete the room I had to put studs over the concrete area of the walls. I did not think I could match the texture of the walls on the framing so I troweled on a stucco texture on the sheet rock I added. I plan to paint the walls with colors to make the framed walls look like plaster walls and the new stucco walls look like stone. After I paint I will need to install finish trim lumber to create a finished ledge where the stucco wall ends and then paint it. To much painting! but it has to be done now because I don't want to be painting with the layout in place.

All the extra stuff we did not have a place for was piled in front of the walls. Before I could work on them, I had to get to them. I purchased some large plastic boxes and most of the loose items fit into them. When the benchwork is done, the boxes will be stored under the benchwork. It worked and I was able to get to the walls to work on them.
