The problem Rustic, uninsulated basement and drumming noise drove family away.
THE SOLUTION Create a dual space: the ultimate music room for playing and family room for relaxing.
HOW IT HAPPENED • Gutted space to remove pine paneling on the walls and cedar shakes on the ceiling.
• Insulated the walls, soundproofed ceiling; painted both.
• Ripped out carpet; installed linoleum with industrial look of poured concrete.
• Designed music zone for drumming husband, play space for the girls and family lounge area.
• Displayed snare drums on floating wall cabinet to work as design element when not in use.
• Created red feature wall with black quartz counter, wet bar, sink and beverage fridge.
