How to Make a Basement Remodel Really Good
How to Make a Basement Remodel Really Good

At the end of a project you get to see all the pretty pictures. You get to see how all of the hard work paid off and produced a beautiful space. The reveal is as fun for me as it is for you. What you don’t see is the timeline. Sometimes these projects take months to years to complete. Recently, I wrapped up a basement project that was several years in the making. A family wanted to create a space for their children to hang out with friends as well as a space they could all enjoy, together. Their basement was typical for an older home. Low ceilings and lots of rooms that were small and dark. They wanted to open it up as much as possible and create a light and bright place. Here is where we started:

I feel like I am constantly saying, “Before COVID happened, I was….”. Anybody else doing this? I keep thinking in terms of before and after in dealing with our lives during this pandemic. In keeping with that theme, I worked on a really fun project before COVID happened. I had clients who wanted to update their basement and make some additional changes to their home. They wanted a basement space their family could hang out in together. They had a great layout, but it needed updating with fresh paint, carpet and furniture. They had done what so many of us do where we put all of our collected, older pieces of furniture in the basement. Items we are not ready to part with, but they don’t really go together, any more. Here are some before pics so you can see where we started:

I have been sitting at my computer for days trying to write a blog that has meaning or some insight into life during this unprecedented time. Everything seems so trivial; just so unimportant to what is happening in the world. Instead, I decided to write about what is helping me deal with all of the turmoil and uncertainty.

Do you want to see a good before and after?
Do you want to see a good before and after?

Every house needs a pretty bath. Whether it’s a powder room or a main bath,  a home needs a beautiful space to excuse themselves for a minute. It’s also a great area to make a small room speak large with design. I, recently, had the chance to do exactly that: renovate a small bath on my client’s main floor.

In renovating the space, it was important to the client that the bathroom be pretty for entertaining guests as well as useful when she had overnight company. She knew it would not be a heavily used bathroom, but would be more for entertaining. We needed to make sure it had all the necessities of a bathroom, but also be beautiful.

I couldn’t get it to pass quick enough to grow up and go to college. Now, all I want is for time to slow down.
