We installed the basement lights and the flooring. We bought and installed ourselves Kahrs flooring that is sustainably made in Sweden. It is a rustic grade of walnut. The color doesn’t quite match the red palate of the wainscot, but the basement does look good and the color variations are fun with low light.
This is a picture of the basement hall light.
Above is a picture of the main light over the bar/tv viewing area. it is from Arroyo craftsman. Notice how the ceiling is painted a bit darker than the walls. we will have the carpenter pit a mahogany picture mold on that seem. We couldn’t put the picture mold right next to the ceiling since the ceiling isn’t straight.
The basement bar has 3 pendants and 3 can lights, all on dimmers. You can see the wine cellar and the art glass relight window in the background.
Here is a picture of the freshly installed floor. The blue plastic is a waterproof underlayment with little foam balls on it. I took a knife to the edges and trimmed them up before the carpenter installed a base shoe. Since the baseboard is 10″ we went with a double sized base shoe.
You can see the kegerator on the left waiting for install.
