(Pre-Renovation)

Turning what was just a simple storage area of the home into a functional space for the homeowners that now features an area for watching television, exercising, and a full 3 piece bathroom.

Determining the best size and layout for the bathroom, along with the basement concrete floor slab being extremely out of level were the two main challenges faced with this project.

With a little creativity, we utilized the space underneath the stairs for the new toilet location while featuring a simple custom built on-site corner vanity within the same space underneath the stairs. Placing both these water features within the same area created a better walking pathway to the shower, and although the bathroom is small it still checks off all the boxes of being a 3-piece bathroom while eating into the TV area space as little as possible.

Due to past water issues underneath the basement concrete slab causing heaving, this floor was looking like a bit of a roller coaster and needed a lot of attention prior to the flooring install. After a very substantial amount of leveler floating, a flexible 6 inch vinyl plank flooring was installed to provide a beautiful + durable floor system that is also completely waterproof.

Moving down the hallway, two separate rooms are now assembled in order to isolate the furnace / storage room from the new laundry room.  Adding a nice design element to both the furnace room and laundry room entry ways is the installation of two "K" profile sliding barn doors, both with soft close mechanisms for easy opening and closing of the heavy doors. 

The laundry room now features a proper tub sink, and a colorful floor tile to add some pop to the room.  What was before just an open space featuring two appliances, is now a distinct, clean, and functional room for this family's laundry needs.

This basement is now bright and inviting with all the new pot lights installed throughout.  A big and beautiful transformation that is sure to add a lot of value to this home for years to come.
