After: Mission Complete

Estimated Cost: $11,400

Fortunately, this untapped potential meant that nothing needed demolition; transformation could begin with the blank slate basement. The addition of some contractor approved windows and a slipper tub transformed a corner of the basement into a luxurious and relaxing space.

Construction of walls and formation of windows that were up to code cost about $4000 of the total budget, while a $2000 tub was a luxury that the homeowner just had to put in, as the family enjoys their long and leisurely soaks. With complete fixtures such as a corner shower stall and a basic but beautiful vanity, this space is ready for use.
