This bedroom and full bathroom are part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together. A partial double closet bar adds a little extra space while still leaving room for longer hanging clothes.

The Home The Bannockburn is a uniquely-designed ranch home that features amazing mountain views from multiple rooms. Situated on two-and-a-half acres, this “rustic, industrial farmhouse” includes four bedrooms, four baths and an oversized four-car finished garage, along with a whole-house stereo. The 12-foot tall main ceilings and bright open rooms, with the natural white oak floors, immediately give the sense of home entertainment. The unique butler bar connects to the gourmet kitchen, blending the ten-and-a-half foot granite-surface island with unique gabion features. The spacious quartz counter for food prep, along with the rear windows for viewing the wildlife, are a bonus. For eating spaces, along with the butler bar and island, there is a large dinette and large dining/flex room with oversized windows overlooking the covered sun deck. The master suite features a rustic wood and iron-trimmed fireplace, a super shower with gabion vanity accents, large mirrors, a makeup station and floor-to-ceiling tile. The master closet connects to the laundry, featuring an eight-foot bench and cubby row, diamond plate tile flooring, plenty of cabinets and a desk with filing space. The lower-level, iron and rusted metal fireplace with an exposed aggregate concrete floor enhance the natural industrial look. The rec room and full galley leads to the walkout patio for a future barbecue, hot tub or firepit.
