rec room/ bedroom? ...............(long)
Comments (5)Thanks for your replies jasper60103: We do have a fairly large closet planned, however the staircase comes down in the middle of the basement and if we make it into a rec room, we plan to open the staircase walls up and just put railings so that you could see from one end of the basement to the other to really open up the space (we've already confirmed that they aren't load bearing walls). So I don't think anyone would be comfortable using it as a bedroom since the only door would be at the top of the stairs. funnycide: We talked about that, but we only have 2 kids so we really don't need another bedroom, we just thought that it would be nice for us to have larger closets and a larger bedroom and since we JUST gutted and remodeled EVERY room on the main level, I think my DH would divorce me if I asked him to reconfigure and enlarge the master :). Due to lot restrictions we can't enlarge the original footprint of the house so we have to work with what we have. Vering off on another subject, if we do make it into a rec room how appealing would a mini kitchenette be to people? If you were looking at a house would it be something that would interest you, or would you rather see an open blank space that could be used for anything?...See MorePaint color recs for Bedroom
Comments (10)BM Natural Wicker is a very very close match to BM Bone white and that is a very nice neutral wall color that I have in my family room that would look wonderful with Navy blue. BM Bone white is darker than BM Navajo White and is very rich looking and looks great with bright white trim. I also like the beige and brown colors mentioned in this post that would look wonderful also. Creams, grays and white walls would also work like another poster mentioned. I would also love to see pictures of the EK Wheat and the BM Blanced Almond that would like they would work well also....See MoreBedroom configuration--children's rooms in basement
Comments (0)Hello, I just am looking for some input on bedroom configurations for a hillside walkout basement plan. We are moving to a lake and this type of plan will be necessary for our lot. Most of the houseplans that we see that include a walkout basement have 2 bedrooms upstairs and two in the basement. We need four bedrooms. I am wondering what the pros/cons would be of this design or of any other basement plan configurations. We had also considered a traditional split bedroom plan with a rec room and other features in the basement but were worried about cost....See MoreI want to build some bedrooms in my basement, should i get a permit?
Comments (4)You will need a permit. The bedrooms will need egress windows, insulation, electrical outlets, and on and on. There are numerous codes you must meet. Good luck in Queens. If you don't - you will not be able to sell the home - because the new owners will not be able to get a certificate of occupancy....See MoreRelated Professionals
