When we moved, one of the musts we needed was a basement whether finished or not that we could turn into a family room/ playroom/man cave area. At our old house we had a semi finished basement but whenever we had people over (pre kids) we would gravitate there since we had a bar set up.
In our current home we have a pretty decent size basement and we are excited to finally make it out own. Considering we haven't had to do much in our home besides picking paints, I'm eager to get my hands on something!
It will be broken into four 'sections'. Our stairs are in the middle of the room, so on one side will be the family room and the bar area, while on the other side of the stairs is a full bathroom and storage closet as well as a play area for the boys.
Back where the furnace is located we are keeping as a storage room to hold all our holiday decorations, miscellaneous decorations and large serving ware.
I put together these mood boards, as we go about the planning process. All the furniture & rug we had from our previous house. The only new thing I am loving is this foosball coffee table!
The bar area as you see is blank. We would love to have a bar built by our contractor, so if we can cut other costs down a little this may be something we can look in to!
For the play area, we will get some storage for toys to be kept down here, and then we recently got our Nugget in Koala color to put down here once finished!
If you have been here a while you may remember our half bath we made into a full in our last house. We used this same Ikea bathroom vanity set and sink and loved it. I will be purchasing the same again for here!
What do you think? Have you finished your basement or plan on doing it?
