We love this rustic look for a finished basement. That stunning arch between the bar and the game/living room is all reclaimed barnwood! Finished basement is complete with a bar, island, wine cellar, half bath, kids room, seating area and fireplace, and a laundry room. By Majestic Home Solutions, LLC.

This corner fireplace has a great rustic dry stack stone fascade. The dark metal surround for the fireplace is a great detail on the gas fireplace face. Earth tones are a great way to bring warmth into a room. Meyer Design

Starting at the two-level granite counter top bar with gleaming cherry wood paneling with a pocket mirror at the center wall, guests can be easily entertained by drinks and food thanks to the convenient outlets along the backsplash and ample counter top space. Looking for a more intimate dining experience? Instead of inviting guests to eat and drink at the bar, have them make their way over to the dining area on the slate tile flooring next to the rustic stone backdrop. The intimate dining area allows for access to the full bar with the soft separation thanks to the half-wall with millwork and a wood top. In addition to the ample room for playing games such as foosball and Ping-Pong, there is a comfortable living room area with a recessed flat screen TV and cozy stone fireplace – all again smartly separated from the rest of the space by a half-wall. There is even a little nook great for reading and storage of toys and other items thanks to the built-in bookshelf and half-cabinets.

Overhaul Converts Classic Rambler to A Modern Yet Classic Family Home in Fairfax This 1970 rambler in middle of old town in Fairfax City has been home to a growing family of five. Ready for a massive overhaul, the family reached out to Michael Nash Design Build & Homes for assistance. Eligible for a special Fairfax City Renaissance program, this project was awarded special attention and favorable financing. We removed the entire roof and added a bump up, second story three-bedroom, two bathroom and loft addition. The main level was reformatted to eliminate the smallest bedroom and split the space among adjacent bedroom and the main living room. The partition walls between the living room and dining room and the partition wall between dining room and kitchen were eliminated, making space for a new enlarged kitchen. The outside brick chimney was rebuilt and extended to pass into the new second floor roof lines. Flu lines for heater and furnace were eliminated. A furnace was added in the new attic space for second floor heating and cooling, while a new hot water heater and furnace was re-positioned and installed in the basement. Second floor was furnished with its own laundry room. A new stairway to the second floor was designed and built were furnace chase used to be, opening up into a loft area for a kids study or gaming area. The master bedroom suite includes a large walk-in closet, large stoned shower, slip-free standing tub, separate commode area, double vanities and more amenities. A kid’s bathroom was built in the middle of upstairs hallway. The exterior of this home was wrapped around with cement board siding, maintenance free trims and gutters, and life time architectural shingles. Added to a new front porch were Trex boards and stone and tapered style columns. Double staircase entrance from front and side yard made this residence a stand out home of the community. This remodeled two-story colonial home with its country style front porch, five bedrooms, four and half bathrooms and second floor laundry room, will be this family’s home for many years to come. Happier than before, this family moved back into this Extreme Makeover Home to love every inch of their new home.

Cozy yet Open. Traditional yet Modern. That is what our clients were looking for in their updated finished basement. In addition to the ample room for playing games such as foosball and Ping-Pong, there is a comfortable living room area with a recessed flat screen TV and cozy stone fireplace – all again smartly separated from the rest of the space by a half-wall.

This rustic-inspired basement includes an entertainment area, two bars, and a gaming area. The renovation created a bathroom and guest room from the original office and exercise room. To create the rustic design the renovation used different naturally textured finishes, such as Coretec hard pine flooring, wood-look porcelain tile, wrapped support beams, walnut cabinetry, natural stone backsplashes, and fireplace surround,
