Blueprint for Improvement:  Cozy basement in Zionsville

THE CHALLENGE:

This 2011 home in Zionsville’s Willow Glen neighborhood had a generously sized basement but lacked storage and style.

THE SOLUTION:

• The family needed space for storing kids’ toys. A custom shelving unit, complete with window seat, solved that problem.
• A new wet bar featuring indigo cabinetry and a Carrera marble countertop provides an entertaining space for adults.
• An electric fireplace was added in the TV/living area to provide warmth and ambiance. Framed in stacked wood veneer, it features a mantle that mimics the design of the floating shelves above the bar.
