This spectacular basement has something in it for everyone. The client has a custom home and wanted the basement to complement the upstairs, yet making the basement a great playroom for all ages.
The stone work from the exterior was brought through the basement to accent the columns, wine cellar, and fireplace. An old world look was created with the stain wood beam detail, knotty alder bookcases and bench seats. The wet bar granite slab countertop was an amazing 4 inches thick with a chiseled edge. To accent the countertop, alder wainscot and travertine tiled flooring was used. Plenty of architectural details were added in the ceiling and walls to provide a very custom look.
The basement was to be not only beautiful, but functional too. A study area was designed into the plans, a specialized hobby room was built, and a gym with mirrors rounded out the plans. Ample amount of unfinished storage was left in the utility room.

Do you have pictures of other side of the bar - Do you have another picture posted somewhere showing the other side of the bar? What is on the other side? Thx »
Basements & Beyond The countertops are black tile granite. The cabinets are by Mastercraft with an ebony stain. We have a mixtures of open shelving and cabinets with doors. Thanks for looking!
Do you have any images of this bar from the front to better show the shape? - I have a bay window shaped section of the basement that I am building the bar into and this looks perfect. »
Incorporate the rock/materials from the fireplace into the bar (diagonal from the fireplace) to tie the two together. This example is a little extreme but shows the idea.
stone look/niches with arch - curvature of bar - tiled floor within bar area - warm paint color ceiling - modern look - woodwork contemporary not heavy ie. not English pub style
