Project: Petey's Basement came about after the clients almost 3,000 square foot basement flooded. Instead of making repairs and bringing it back to its prior state, the clients wanted a new basement that could offer multiple spaces to help their house function better. I added a guest bedroom, dining area, basement kitchenette/bar, living area centered around large gatherings for soccer and football games, a home gym, and a room for the puppy litters the home owners are always fostering. The biggest design challenge was making every selection with dogs in mind. The client runs her own dog rescue organization, Petey's Furends, so at any given time the clients have their own 4 dogs, a foster adult dog, and a litter of foster puppies! I selected porcelain tile flooring for easy clean up and durability, washable area rugs, faux leather seating, and open spaces.
