[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The layout of our house isn’t great for family time. Our main level living area is too small and[b] the basement is finished but unappealing.[/b] [/quote]

Which summarizes most finished basements. Unless you have a full walk out that feels like a proper above the ground floor, there's nothing you can do to a basement to make it anything other than a basement. It will be dark, it will always feel fully, it will never be a place to hang out in for hours, unless you are kids desperate to get away from the parents, and in that case it really doesn't matter how nice it is.

To each their own, or maybe you need more inspiration when it comes to decorating and properly lighting basements. Model homes tend to be really good for this -- I've been in some fantastic examples of finished, below-grade basements in decorated builder models. Also check out pinterest etc. [/quote]

Been there, done it, seen it. No basement remodel ever hides that it's a basement. And I don't spend time in basements. Life is too short. [/quote]
