To define the pub style bar area, we added a tin ceiling above. Beer and wine are kept in a beverage cooler. Collectible beer signs from London are displayed. Quote from the client: "our basement was finished when we purchased our home, but was not really an inviting space to entertain or even simply hang out with the family...Pat studied the space, spent time listening to our wants and needs, sorting through our 'memorabilia'... and provided us with floor plans, drawings of our bar area, fireplace, lighting and electrical layouts... her hands-on approach made the process easy for our family."
Removing half a wall opened the space and gave us a spot for barstools to overlook the billiards table.
"You hear of remodeling nightmares -- she made this simple and actually fun to watch the changes progress."
In another area of the basement, the family can enjoy movie night relaxing on the sectional. Afghans are kept in the storage ottoman. The original brick fireplace was refaced with tile and a new mantle added.
"Pat Stockdon and the support team she organized made the project a complete success."
