#HomeBase Reveal

#HomeBase is really a home run in our book! Ok, we’ll quit the baseball puns, but as you can see our clients at #HomeBase are sports enthusiasts. Our challenge here was to improve the layout and flow of the basement and embrace the homeowner’s interests to create a stylish and functional space for all ages.

We pulled accent colors from the artwork, but overall kept the furnishings neutral and let the texture do the talking.

The fireplace was rebuilt with stacked stone and a beautiful wood mantle.

What basement would be complete without a built-in kitchenette? Perfect for entertaining and keeping refreshments handy.

All memorabilia and other artwork was provided by the homeowner and we had everything professionally framed and installed.

A big part of the remodel was the reorganization. The stairway was opened up and the bathroom was relocated and rebuilt for easier accessibility to the living space. We love the combination of this custom vanity, patterned tile and black accents on the hardware!

This basement is so full of light, with a real casual elegance. We definitely wouldn’t mind coming over to watch a game or two!

#ClearView Reveal

#ClearView is aptly named because that is exactly what we provided for this homeowner!

This is how it looked originally. As you can see, space wasn’t really the issue here. The layout was not using the space to it’s full potential and the arched detail separating the kitchen from the living area made re-organizing the layout challenging.

With the open layout, we created some much-needed fluidity throughout the kitchen, breakfast nook and living room.

The dining room remains as it was before with the exception of the entrance, it was relocated and supported with beautiful bold beams. We also added the spectacular light fixture. PS- It’s articulating! It can be reconfigured into endless creative positions.

The living room was updated with a sleek stacked stone hearth and custom shelving.

The warm mix of materials is what make this home so stunning. From warm wood cabinets to textured marble countertops, all pieces are working in harmony here. We love how this whole space immediately announces a sense of style, while still maintaining a relatability making anyone feel welcome.
