The basement is a huge space that can be a blessing or a curse. I’d say it’s a blessing because it can serve as an entryway into your home and a place to put stuff that isn’t quite practical or that you don’t want to keep in the kitchen. However, if you’ve never had to deal with the basement before, it can be a little scary.
As for the curse, its easy to have a basement room that is perfect, but then a few years down the road someone decides to redo it and its a disaster. I know what yours looks like in a hurry because it was mine when all this started, but you probably don’t even see it. All the rooms you see in the video are the original, all of the walls are still there, and the floor has been recently painted.
You can have most of the same rooms in the video, minus the floor and painted walls, but if you are really determined, you can go in with a drywall/carpet guy if you don’t like the mess he leaves behind. They can get the room to look like new, but if you do it on time, youll also probably loose the use of that room for a while.
The rooms in the video are the ones that are original to the house, that are still there, and that have never been painted. That means they are pretty much perfect as is. It also means that the walls are a bit flimsier than they were before, and they are less likely to have been painted. If you want to go all out, you can paint the walls a nice dark brown, but that would probably be pretty ugly.
The same is true of the floors. If you have a basement with no walls, you would probably have to paint the floor a darker brown to match the walls, but you can also paint the floor a darker brown. These aren’t as high quality, but they are a little better than before.
Again, paint isn’t cheap, but if you want a nice basement, it will be worth it.
Yes, the basement is a bit of an eyesore. But it’s not that bad. The floor is a bit low, but the walls are pretty solid. You can use a combination of drywall patching and paint if you want to do a really good job.
As you might suspect, you’re not going to find an exact match for the basement, but you can get a very close approximation by using the same colors and adding a few spots of color. It really does look like the walls are lined up in a “M” shape.
I wouldn’t assume an exact match would match the dimensions of your basement, but I think it does look like the same floor plan as the one shown in the new asheville homepage. I think the basement remodel site is more accurate than my own personal view of the subject matter, so I would take a look.
It would seem the most accurate way to match that image would be to go to the asheville homepage, and then look for a “Dimensions” link on the right of the page. This will take you to a page that shows dimensions of a room in your house. You can then compare that with the dimensions of the basement you see in your image, and you’ll have a pretty close match.
