Before and Afters Part III

One of the best things about living here in Pennsylvania is the basement!!  It's always great to have more space to store 'stuff'.  It's even better for the kids to have a special place to call their own.  It's also a great place for guest to have their own space.  Whatever the reason, having a basement is awesome!!

Here are some before and after pictures....

Here's the basement before....

Going down the stairs...

At the bottom of the stairs is a storage closet.

An open room.  Well-water filtration is located behind the doors.

 Full bath to the left.

Kitchenette. (With carpet?)

Walk out to the left.  Over-sized fireplace in family room.

The only way the kids would move to Pennsylvania is if they could each have their own room.  This is Mikenzie's room.  The walls just need enclosed.

Looking from Mikenzie's soon-to-be bedroom towards the family room.

 The family room.  Isn't the ceiling lovely? Kind of a nice officey feel...

Now this carpet... Hmmmm.....Nice....

Here's the after pictures....

It's amazing what new carpet and new paint will do.

 At the bottom of the stairs.  Don't you just love this awesome ceiling?  We did it ourselves.  Easy peasy.

A game of pool anyone? 

We completely redid the full bath.  It's lovely.

I love this new Family Wall.  We are blessed with a rich heritage.

Is this the same kitchenette?  Yep!  New slate tile.  New ceiling.  New refrigerator.  New table.  Old popcorn machine.

 Love the wood shutters.  Here's the walkout the backyard.

 I think the biggest 'bang for our buck' was this amazing ceiling.  It completely changes the whole look of this basement.  Don't you love this new stone fireplace?  What a difference!!  The TV above the fireplace is awesome.  Honestly, we don't really miss our old theater room.

Notice Mikenzie's now enclosed room at the back-left. 

 Looking towards the kitchen area.  Anyone in the mood for a party?  How about a movie?

Mikenzie's room turned out great!  Bob did such an amazing job.  Crown molding.  Paint.

 Love those wood shutters!  Mikenzie has a great view to the woods.

 This will always be Mikenzie's room.  But, it's going to make an amazing guest room when she's at college.  Anyone want to come for a visit?  You can have the whole basement to yourself!!
