and finishes and composed a lengthy
email with lots of Pinterest links. A 3D
rendering of the space was created
using these initial ideas as a starting
point, and to get the owners excited at
the potential of their basement. The
final product ended up being very similar
to that first rendering.
Todd had his eye on an antique ice
chest for the bar that influenced the
layout as well as the style of the bar.
The bar contains other traditional elements
such as a wood bar rail molding,
foot rail, beer tap, and drink rail.
Finishes, fixtures, and lighting give it a
modern flair and keep it from going too
traditional. Finished panels were made
for the appliances for a seamless look,
and the stained wood of the shelves
and bar rail match the antique ice
chest. Custom booth seating was built
for the lounge next to the bar with new
wall-hung televisions. Chair rail molding
and drink rails were installed in the
adjacent game room. New luxury vinyl
plank floors replaced the existing carpet
and all of the walls were repainted.
For the home theater, a platform was
built for tiered seating with lighted
stair nosing. The existing ceiling was
raised up and a soffit was built for
cove accent lighting. Custom pilasters
line the walls for a traditional feel, and
surround the projector screen camouflaging
the built-in subwoofers. Acoustic
panels on the walls also hide the in
wall speakers. The projector is located
on the other side of the wall in the
utility room as well as the equipment
cabinet, made to look like one of the
pilasters.
Custom vanity cabinets were made
for the bathrooms and the fiberglass
shower was replaced with tile.
As you'll hear from both Todd and
Andrea throughout this article, they
couldn't be more pleased with the
project results. And so are their friends.
According to Todd, " We've heard nothing
but glowing positives...along with
MANY requests to do MORE social
hosting moving forward. "
