This lower-level entertainment area and spare bedroom is the perfect flex space for game nights, family gatherings, and hosting overnight guests. We furnished the space in a soft palette of light blues and cream-colored neutrals. This palette feels cohesive with the other rooms in the home and helps the area feel bright, with or without great natural lighting. For functionality, we also offered two seating options, this 2-3 person sofa and a comfortable upholstered chair that can be easily moved to face the TV or cozy up to the ottoman when you break out the board games.

A poky upstairs layout becomes a spacious master suite, complete with a Japanese soaking tub to warm up in the long, wet months of the Pacific Northwest. The master bath now contains a central space for the vanity, a “wet room” with shower and an "ofuro" soaking tub, and a private toilet room. Photos by Laurie Black

CHC Creative Remodeling

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.

This basement is not only the playroom for two little boys, but also the headquarters for their foundation, Cancer Stinks Children's foundation - so the combination of fun and function was vital. A work station nestled in the corner takes care of business, while a 94-inch screen and comfy couch provide the perfect place for movie night. A Lego wall, dry erase surfaces, a gaming station, and a basketball arcade game (complete with basketball court flooring) ensures these kids will work hard, but play harder.
