Ultimate Basement Reno

When converting a storage basement into an amazing apartment, it becomes the ultimate basement reno.

With the outlandish cost of housing and moving today, couples are considering alternative options, such as raising the roof for more bedrooms, an addition for a larger kitchen or redoing a storage basement into the ultimate apartment.

By salvaging cabinets, olde furniture, adding wallpaper, new paint and updated fixtures and appliances, a remarkable reno will increase the value of your home. This space becomes a cosy livable apartment for family or a valuable rental area for needed income.

Large bright windows, new entry door, light finished flooring and custom furnishings can be accounted for when preparing a specific plan listing the required materials, and then purchased when they are on sale for greater savings. The plan is everything as it keeps everything on budget.

Prepare a layout. Sketches or drawings will indicate correct placement and sizes of products. List everything from coat-hangers and door knobs to cabinets and furnishings, artwork and fixtures.  There is never a surprise if the project is well coordinated. Lots of items can be found in unusual places and used as unique design features turning it into a custom design project.
Change your environment, change your life. Living with Feng Shui is all about feeling 'good' within your environment.
