Wauwatosa Lower Level

This project began with a partially-finished lower level of a Wisconsin home. The awe-inspiring results of this renovation show how valuable the space in your lower level or basement can be. What began as a partially-finished lower level is now a luxurious family room. Complete with a revitalized bathroom, new wine bar, and space-saving laundry area, this project demonstrates the endless possibilities and benefits that come with upgrading the lower level of your home.
