This homeowner had two main requirements for their basement space – a place to relax and watch television along with a functioning work space to cultivate the homeowner’s passion for wine making. A more rustic, relaxed feel was their desire and to achieve this, several changes were made. A full-length wall of stacked stone was installed, making a dramatic focal point. New cabinetry played a major role in the transformation in look and function, as well as, the new rustic wood-look laminate flooring. Showcasing treasured heirlooms that tap into the homeowner’s rich Italian heritage, this basement not only is a great space for wine making, but also a place of fond memories and family traditions.
