Starting in the basement, the initial idea was to turn the space into a media room. The biggest obstacle was the low 6'-4" ceiling. Underpinning raised the height to 8'-6". It took 20 weeks of work — 5 weeks for the heavy construction (digging and pouring new foundation) and 15 weeks for the finishes.In a final stroke of creativity, Shannon decided that natural wood vertical slats used as railings along the stairs would make a nice transition into the basement. The vintage Shaker-style chairs below subtly mimic the slats.

This extensive basement renovation makes the most of the space under the stairs. The homeowner also thought up the idea of creating a slat wall to use as a staircase railing. This move emphasizes verticality in this previously too-short space; originally 6 feet 4 inches high, the renovation extended it to 8 feet 6 inches high. In fact, this homeowner's blog is called 8foot6.

Make use of that awkward, cramped space under the stairs with a tiny built-in. Your workspace can double as a great hiding spot.

17. Show how you can use awkward areas. If you have any room beneath the stairs, or a nook or alcove anywhere in your home, try to find a unique way to show it off. By setting up a small work station, a home command center with a bulletin board, or built-in shelving, your awkward spot becomes another selling point.

this is great
