This multi-functional lower-level transformation combines a practical design with thoughtful details to create a versatile space that serves as a sewing room, entertaining area, and exercise room.

KEY FEATURES

Dream Sewing Room 

Renz Construction created a large sewing room that provides plenty of space for the homeowner’s sewing projects. A custom-designed island centers the room. The island is shorter than standard counter height to allow the homeowner to sit and sew comfortably.

• Oversized island with Cambria countertops accommodates large quilting projects. 
• Sizeable storage cabinets with drawers and shelves to hold all sewing supplies.
• Backlit storage shelves to showcase completed projects.
• Sliding doors provide easy access to the main living area.
• Pop-up cabinet section houses a sewing machine, providing access only when needed.

Kitchenette & Buffet

Crews installed a fully functional kitchenette that included a stylish buffet with reclaimed wood shelves, sourced from Heritage Beam and Board. The pantry, hidden behind the bar, adds extra storage space. 

• Custom bar with a wavy tile backsplash installed vertically for a sophisticated touch.
• Hammered brushed nickel fixtures from Kohler and Cambria countertops.
• Custom hickory cabinets with ample space for every need.
• Fully plumbed bar area for entertaining.

Exercise Room & Living Area

The exercise room, designed to double as a sitting room, offers versatility while maintaining a comfortable aesthetic. This area, combined with the adjoining living/recreation room, provides plenty of space for fitness or lounging, with large windows that bring in natural light.

• Exposed basement leads to an outdoor patio for summer entertaining.
• Reclaimed wood wrapped posts and beams.

Bathroom & Bedroom

The project’s improvements included the addition of a new bedroom as well as a full bathroom designed for guests’ comfort and convenience. 

• Floor-to-ceiling linen cabinet off the vanity for extra storage. 
• Thoughtfully designed layout that separates the shower and toilet from the vanity area.

Finishing Touches

Reclaimed wood beams and posts bring warmth and character to the space, while LVP flooring offers durability throughout. The stairs were completely redone, with stained and painted wood steps, along with a custom carpet runner for added style.

THE RESULT

This remodel successfully blends style, function, and comfort, creating a multi-purpose lower level that meets all the homeowner’s needs while providing a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere for family and friends.
