[quote=Anonymous]We're about to start finishing our basement this month.  It's a full walkout and approximately 1,800 sq ft.  We're planning on a bedroom, full bath, rec room, wet bar, storage areas, and mud room entry.  The most important aspect is a large play area for our young kids.  Probably berber carpet throughout with tile in bathroom, bar area, and mud room.  Would appreciate any general suggestions or lessons learned from those who have been through this process.

I'm pretty sure our contractor and i can layout where the walls/rooms should go, but can an interior designer help with this or would we need an architect if i want a second opinion?  The stairs are in the middle of the room with HVAC and water heater underneath plus a few support poles require some creative planning.

Thinking of a custom steam room, but not sure it's worth the cost.  Anyone install one of those prefab steam shower units?  I thought i might try one instead of a regular shower stall.

Suggestions for hiding sump pump that will likely be in the corner of the rec room/tv room?  I would probably like to put the tv above the sump.

Would you recommend a gas fireplace?  It might need to be ventless.

Any suggestions re the bar?  sink, mini-fridge, wine fridge, microwave, kegerator, etc?

Any tips or advice appreciated.  Thanks in advance.[/quote]
