The Basement was only 650 squaue feet total. Donovan Construction uses Soft Plan Design software to carefully design every basement we do.A french drain was installed the walls were re-mortared and water proofed. New walls were framed with metal studs in front of the existing walls.We added beadboard wainscoting and a tin ceiling to give the basement a period look. The basement was designed around a support colunm in the middle of the room. We design the space with a seperate family room, laundry room, mechanical room and powder room. The TV was built into the wall and finished with a picture frame. All AV wires are hidden in the white cabinet. The wires and TV are accessible from the laundry room.The washer and dryer were relocated to make room for a powder room and a wet bar.We custom built this bar and finished the back wall with subway tile. The powder room is behind the door in this picture.Behind the large brown cabinet was a narrow staircase. We replaced the stairs and coated the stone walls smooth.The new stair case has oak treads, railing and trim. The wrought iron insert was custom fabricated. Tile was applied dirctly to the stone wall to conserve space.The new basement has a large open area where the children can play.Here is a closer look at the old stairs and stone wall.The new stairs and tile.
