This relatively new house came with the basement finished by the builder. The homeowners wanted to refresh the basement with a cosmetic make over while creating space for a home theater. We added trim to plain columns; installed half wall with a granite top; added a raised platform and theater seating; a movie screen; new carpet; and added wainscoting down basement hall and up stairs. We also incorporated left over mudroom cubbies from an earlier first floor renovation, adding paneled frames behind and a shelf.
