Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource

2001 National CotY Winner / Lower Level Entertainment Room

THE CHALLENGE

When these homeowners built their house in 2001, they had laid the groundwork for an eventual lower level family entertainment area. The time came to remodel, and the clients wanted to:

Build an exercise area
Include a game room
Create a bar area for entertaining
Finish the roughed-in fireplace
Use windows to give the exposed basement a view

THE SOLUTION

Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource gave the owners:

A basement separated into distinct areas
Connecting archways
Cherry woodwork
Crown moldings
Radius soffits
An open staircase

It’s not simply how a room looks, it’s how a room is lit. Let Bartelt shed some light on the importance of proper lighting.
