Once apon a time I was a scary basement located in a congested section of Cambridge MA. My clients and I set out to create a new space inspired by France that could also double as a guest room when needed. Painting the existing wood joists and adding bead board in between the joists and painting any exposed pipes white celebrates the ceiling rather than trying to hide it keeps the much needed ceiling height. Italian furniture, books and antique rug gives this once basement a very European well travelled feel.

This bathroom was a must for the homeowners of this 100 year old home. Having only 1 bathroom in the entire home and a growing family, things were getting a little tight.
This bathroom was part of a basement renovation which ended up giving the homeowners 14” worth of extra headroom. The concrete slab is sitting on 2” of XPS. This keeps the heat from the heated floor in the bathroom instead of heating the ground and it’s covered with hand painted cement tiles. Sleek wall tiles keep everything clean looking and the niche gives you the storage you need in the shower.
Custom cabinetry was fabricated and the cabinet in the wall beside the tub has a removal back in order to access the sewage pump under the stairs if ever needed. The main trunk for the high efficiency furnace also had to run over the bathtub which lead to more creative thinking. A custom box was created inside the duct work in order to allow room for an LED potlight.
The seat to the toilet has a built in child seat for all the little ones who use this bathroom, the baseboard is a custom 3 piece baseboard to match the existing and the door knob was sourced to keep the classic transitional look as well. Needless to say, creativity and finesse was a must to bring this bathroom to reality.
Although this bathroom did not come easy, it was worth every minute and a complete success in the eyes of our team and the homeowners. An outstanding team effort.

There was a not functional fireplace that was smack dab in the middle of the room and ran all the way up throughout the house (3 stories). Instead of demolishing and spending a ton of money and disruption we decided to keep the interesting quirk and making it a focal point of the space.
The charming artwork on the wall covers an unsightly coal bin, helping this basement family room feel polished and stylish. Sprying out the existing ceiling in a uniform dark color and polishing the existing concrete floors maximize the ceiling height. Design by Kristyn Bester. Photo by Photo Art Portraits

The wet bar in this basement remodel uses Wall Series Single racks to hold bottles of wine — or even your favorite 750 ml liquor bottle. Plus, there's room for up to a dozen stem glasses. A great entertaining area, the wet bar is located directly across from the glass-enclosed wine cellar.
