Where can I find design ideas for basement?
Comments (5)We are in the process of doing our basement in a lodge/cabin theme. The flooring is a wood-scraped look laminate in, if I remember correctly, a teak tone. The walls are outside log siding and pine siding. We the few more things to finish up - the fireplace is not complete, etc. We looked at sites that featured log cabins for ideas. If you send me an email on here, I can send you pictures. I have not had luck with posting pics as yet....See MoreDesign ideas for basement bath
Comments (11)That sink is incredible! Do you know anyone who welds? That looks like old iron fence or window grates. If you can find something similar at Habitat for Humanity ReStore or an estate sale or salvage yard or something, perhaps you could have it welded together into a custom base for less money. This wall decal is cool, and even better would be an actual window grate or mirror in that shape. I didn't have much luck getting images when I googled "gothic bathroom", but then I thought of steam punk, which as been popular recently and shares some elements. "steam punk bathroom" got many more useful images, and has elements that seem likely to appeal to a man. www.kellyskitchensync.com has Steampunk Sunday posts with some cool bathroom fixtures. How about getting a few decorative tiles to intersperse with your on-hand tile? Here is a link that might be useful: Cool bronze accent tiles...See MoreIdeas for a basement design / layout?
Comments (14)"...So at this point, changing the beams to steel and reducing jack posts isn't possible. Not sure if this can be done when we hire a contractor at a later point. Can this be done after the fact? I would still like to see some layout thoughts if we had to work with what we have?..." Well, this is confusing. Why can't the changes be made before construction begins? That's the time it can be both most economical, and be based to facilitate whatever layout in the basement which works best for you. To make the changes to the jack posts after construction will be very expensive. Without knowing more, it seems to me you're faced with two scenarios: 1) Make the needed changes before construction begins; or 2) Forget about any reasonable and economical changes to the basement for human habitation purposes once construction begins and is complete. When complete, with jack posts every 7'-8" the basement is uninhabitable, other than for storage....See MoreBasement wet bar design ideas
