You will not believe this transformation! We took an old, unfinished basement that felt damp, dingy, and well, somewhat scary and transformed it into a bright and inviting two-bedroom unit.

To convert this space, we waterproofed, levelled the floors, tore down the cinder block 'bathroom', framed, drywalled and spray-foamed. A large open kitchen, deep window sills, and LED lighting makes the space feel warm and spacious and our black, white and wood motif gives it a young and modern feel.

what we did

KITCHEN

We converted the laundry area into our kitchen so we could make use of existing plumbing. White shaker cabinets and oak veneer countertops from Ikea paired with oversized white subway tile and black grout give this kitchen a bright, airy, and modern look. Hard to imagine what it looked like before!

bathroom

We completely rebuilt the bathroom and installed a brand new tub/shower and toilet. We used the same white subway tile with black grout as the kitchen, but laid it stacked rather than brick. Our black hexagon floor tiles, along with black tub fixtures, faucet, accessories, and of course our accent wall in Sherwin Williams Iron Ore, gives this bathroom a timeless, high-end look with just the right amount of drama and fun.

living room

We painted the walls throughout the unit in Balboa Mist by Benjamin Moore and added white trim to give the space a bright and cozy feel. After levelling out all the floors, we installed a gorgeous glue-down vinyl and added a door for access to the en-suite laundry and utility room.
