Congratulations, home owner! You’ve bought a “real” house complete with a basement. You have a clear vision for what you want to do with the rest of the place but you’re not quite sure what to do for that lower level. We understand needing to take one home renovation project on at a time, but be warned: if you procrastinate too long on renovating the downstairs, you could risk having a basement that becomes:
- A permanent storage area for everything from Christmas decorations to shameful infomercial purchases
- A space where dorm-era furniture goes the die
- The cold, dank place your kids refer to as “The ghost’s room”
