 This is dark, unfriendly basement was remodel to be more family-friendly by updating function and finishes, increase light level, storage, ease of circulation, develop Craftsman style, in clear hues, clean lines and build an addition to excavate about 3’ of earth under an 18 year-earlier addition, which was then enclosed to create additional space for a playroom, add space for the new bathroom and guest room expansion.

Craftsman styling in an updated palette creates a light-filled, inviting living area on the lower level. Re-styled fireplace set off by maple and cherry trim. |
New playroom, just above grade window, created by excavating and enclosing space under previous addition. Maple cabinets, white wainscot create serene setting for vivid color scheme. Carpet replaced by hardwood floors and area rugs counters “basement” look. |
|
 Stairs with new newel posts, new trim for lolly column finessed into wainscoting, niche under stairs. |
 Niche under stairs from hallway side in old closet area. |
|
 Laundry/Mudroom created as clearing area for basement traffic. Small appliance niche for charging cell phones and includes space for gardening activities. Slate floor tolerates heavy traffic. |
 Niche under stairs from T.V. Room side. |
|
 Opening to playroom addition flanked by engaged columns integrated into wainscoting, dropped beam defines spaces. |
 Expanded Guestroom continues wainscoting throughout basement, creates room for office, view of garden, access to bathroom. 5-panel doors were chosen throughout to carry through Craftsman theme. |
|
|
White wainscoting consistently
used in all the rooms created a light palette against which the
homeowners’ preferred palette of clear, strong colors could play without
darkening the rooms. |
