Music plays a large role in this basement, which is evidenced by the album covers as well as the guitar. In addition to the stage, lounge and bar, games play a role in the fun for this fully finished basement. Created by Jennifer Runner of Normandy Design Build Remodeling

Cabinets from GB Group's (Italy). Stratos collection. Featuring fully-integrated Corian sink and mirror with backlight. Freestanding, solid Corian tub from MOMA Design. Floor and walls are PORCELANOSA tile. Grohe EuroCube and Alure Briliant faucets.

A large, striking urn was placed as the focal point in the front with the walkway circumventing it in a semi-formal geometric arrangement. Stepstone pavers were set in decomposed granite in a loose and random pattern for the pathway.

The rear yard was a completely overgrown mess, with cracked concrete walkways, and sorry little planting beds. The new fencing and the simplicity of the landscaping highlights the beauty of the setting. John Buchbinder

This view of the Zen backyard shows the patio in reference to the swimming pool and the outdoor dining table. You can see there is a good amount of artificial grass in this picture. The travertine looks nice against the green of the turf. This backyard offers three sitting areas: the patio area, the dining area, and the cement benches on the far side of the yard around the fire pit.

This 1850's Beacon Hill condo needed an update. The client wanted to maximize storage with transom cabinets to the ceiling. We wanted to keep the historic feel, but modernize with a simple transitional design.

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. The small footprint of this bathroom made it a challenge to include all the necessities. This neo-angle shower was the perfect solution. We are not fans of standard square tile so we dressed up the shower walls with this more interesting pattern.

design: Studio TOOP, 2008 location: Amersfoort, NL status: built in 2010, Vaate Hoveniers and DIY photos: Jolanthe Lalkens, 2012 This design is based on a series of concentric circles in alternating benches and walls. This makes the garden graphically interesting from above and allows for a large amount of integrated seating (both important criteria for the design). Contrasting with this clean graphic element is the rough texture of the broken cement pavers and the organic lines of the planting beds. The existing field maple is used as a focal point and gives the garden an intimate, mature quality. Despite that there is only one tree, the garden feels somehow like the woods.

Reclaimed barnwood stair treads add a warm and rustic detail to this industrial design. Buras Photography #industrialdesign #stairs #brockworth #reclaimed #addition #tread
