A Remarkable Basement Remodel
Our goal with every remodel is to bring families together at home, whatever that means for them. We recently wrapped up a basement remodel for a family navigating loss, and bringing this family together meant something very special.
The story behind the project
The homeowner is the talented writer behind The Whiskey Widow blog, where she shares her family's experiences after the loss of her husband in 2021. The "Whiskey" in the blog's name is a nod to her husband's extensive whiskey collection, which was a big motivator for this basement remodel.
A wet bar and a fireplace to gather around
She wanted a place to display the collection and gather with friends and family to share memories of her husband and the impact he had on the people around him. The centerpiece of the project was a wet bar.
Another key piece was adding a fireplace, a cozy spot to come together during our seemingly never-ending winters.
A space designed with the whole family
The homeowner shared a glimpse of the remodel process on The Whiskey Widow blog, including how her children were part of the project, sharing their opinions and helping choose pieces of the design.
She knew now was the time to remodel, so her kids would have years to enjoy the space and room to be together as a family.
It was truly an honor to play a small part in bringing this family's vision for their basement to life.
