Clean, easy basement finish. Take special notice of the farmhouse modern inspired bathroom.

This older couple residing in a golf course community wanted to expand their living space and finish up their unfinished basement for entertainment purposes and more. Their wish list included: exercise room, full scale movie theater, fireplace area, guest bedroom, full size master bath suite style, full bar area, entertainment and pool table area, and tray ceiling. After major concrete breaking and running ground plumbing, we used a dead corner of basement near staircase to tuck in bar area. A dual entrance bathroom from guest bedroom and main entertainment area was placed on far wall to create a large uninterrupted main floor area. A custom barn door for closet gives extra floor space to guest bedroom. New movie theater room with multi-level seating, sound panel walls, two rows of recliner seating, 120-inch screen, state of art A/V system, custom pattern carpeting, surround sound & in-speakers, custom molding and trim with fluted columns, custom mahogany theater doors. The bar area includes copper panel ceiling and rope lighting inside tray area, wrapped around cherry cabinets and dark granite top, plenty of stools and decorated with glass backsplash and listed glass cabinets. The main seating area includes a linear fireplace, covered with floor to ceiling ledger stone and an embedded television above it. The new exercise room with two French doors, full mirror walls, a couple storage closets, and rubber floors provide a fully equipped home gym. The unused space under staircase now includes a hidden bookcase for storage and A/V equipment. New bathroom includes fully equipped body sprays, large corner shower, double vanities, and lots of other amenities. Carefully selected trim work, crown molding, tray ceiling, wainscoting, wide plank engineered flooring, matching stairs, and railing, makes this basement remodel the jewel of this community.

Project: Petey's Basement came about after the clients almost 3,000 square foot basement flooded. Instead of making repairs and bringing it back to its prior state, the clients wanted a new basement that could offer multiple spaces to help their house function better. I added a guest bedroom, dining area, basement kitchenette/bar, living area centered around large gatherings for soccer and football games, a home gym, and a room for the puppy litters the home owners are always fostering. The biggest design challenge was making every selection with dogs in mind. The client runs her own dog rescue organization, Petey's Furends, so at any given time the clients have their own 4 dogs, a foster adult dog, and a litter of foster puppies! I selected porcelain tile flooring for easy clean up and durability, washable area rugs, faux leather seating, and open spaces.
