Our client's basement was ready to be finished. High ceilings and an expansive floor plan made it perfect for a fun entertaining space and built in gym for the kids.

We started by making sure there was enough room for their daughter's gymnastics and a place to run! An open ceiling allowed us to integrate built in monkey bars for practice and a climbing wall completed the cool kids gym.

A galvanized metal wall highlights the wet bar, housing a convenient, built in undercounter beverage center, a microwave, and plenty of room for parties.

What you don't see is the is the client's concealed archery range - perfect for practicing when the kids aren't downstairs!

Family and friends can stay in the new guest suite- coupled with a cozy sectional for movie nights.

The result is a bright and welcoming basement - ready to entertain!

Rustic Entertaining Space

We added more storage by adding two new closets, one of which we closed off with a set of custom wood barn doors. The white built-in cabinetry was replaced with dark wood cabinets , floating shelves, and a quartz top. We added a beverage cooler beneath the countertops - ideal for entertaining!  The homeowners can now enjoy the space as a family or when spending time with friends!

Our clients were ready for a complete transformation of their 1980's basement. Not only were they ready for an updated look to match the rest of their home, but also a change in the way the space functioned. It was time to get rid of kids' toys and make way for a more inviting space to entertain friends and family of all ages.  We replaced the existing dated berber carpet with a beautiful, rustic wood-look Luxury Vinyl Tile. One of our carpenters fabricated all of the custom wood pieces in the space, including a long bar top for people to perch, set a drink and either watch tv or enjoy a game of pool. We gave the fireplace a facelift by changing out the shiny brass fireplace doors with a modern rustic set of doors in oil rubbed bronze. We replaced the traditional, white mantel with a wood beam and added rustic wood wall cladding above as a design feature.

The homeowner's wanted their basement to be the ultimate space to entertain family and friends as well as a cozy retreat after a long day. This space includes a full-service bar, gas fireplace, and game area. Even the smallest details were paid attention-including pipe supports on the bar tops, custom industrial table, and rustic wood sliding barn doors.
