Basement Bar, Plus

Basements are exceptional areas for adding living space. They are often open, can be designed to handle a variety of interests, and don’t have the expense of an extended foundation or utilities that an addition would require. Whether you’re thinking family space, entertainment zone, or after work escape, basements, when planned right, can provide a whole new floor of home living.

Basement Wine Storage

Making beautiful use of existing home spaces not only takes a great design eye, but also the craftsmanship skills to pull it off. Here a wine storage area was designed to fit under the stairs of a basement renovation. Notice the rich woodwork and the unique storage arrangement.

Does wine taste better coming out of a display rack like this? We think so.
