The Before
The "before" of our basement was one big messy storage room. Because of the placement of things (the well stuff, furnaces, electrical box, etc.) along with the fact that half the basement isn't dug out to full height, it took us several years of pondering before we came up with what we thought would be the best way to finish it. We wanted to turn most of the basement into a combination playroom/toy and home theatre/TV room where my dh could have the giant flatscreen TV he'd been wanting for years. We also wanted to build a real home office for him (since he works full time from home). We also wanted to reserve space for a workshop area and an exercise room, and we wanted to keep some storage area as well. We would have loved to have a powder room, but there simply wasn't room. (There would have been, had the builder opted to dig out the whole basement instead of just half of it, but oh well.)
