Exposed ceiling joists in the mudroom give the illusion of a higher ceiling. The sliding door leads to the stairwell and is a good way to corral the cats out of the main living areas. Custom shelving using reclaimed wood and plumbing fittings not only creates an industrial vibe, but provides ample mudroom storage. Staining the existing concrete floor and leaving the imperfections perfectly complete the industrial nature of this space.

A salvaged metal door is an inspired solution for hiding electrical panel in the guest bedroom, and also creates the illusion of a larger space beyond the door. The door slides on a barn door track for easy access.

The client wanted as much flexibility in the guest room as possible so we designed a twin over the queen bunk bed using local spruce and plumbing fixtures as accents to tie in with the industrial thread running through this basement conversion.

The wet bar and adjoining movie theatre are located at the end of a long hallway, enticing visitors to venture further to satisfy their curiosity. The prime wet bar location provides easy access to mid-movie refills.

The wine cellar built-ins were custom designed to meet the needs of the client’s wine collection and are made out of local spruce.

The new bathroom is tucked up next to the chimney and completed with subway tile and a few coats of white paint. Exposed bulbs in the vanity lighting, a leather mirror strap, and mixed-wood vanity storage play up the industrial theme. The sink is recycled from the upstairs bathroom remodel, helping to tie the design back to the home’s 1915 craftsman historical roots while saving a perfectly good sink from the landfill. 

The cozy home theatre is located at the quiet end of the basement and include a custom sofa designed by Arlene Lord of Lord Interior Design and crafted by The Joinery.
