This lower level family room and laundry room turned a previously small and dark walk-out basement area to a comfortable space for the entire family.

The white-washed tongue-and-groove pine walls are inspired by the family historic Monona cottage, also remodeled by TDS Custom Construction. Daybeds with roll-out storage and built-in bookcases make this basement an appealing and cozy spot for plopping down with a book or having a sleep-over.
