However, the floor is uneven/slightly slopes in some areas. How even is your floor? Does the LVT seem like a product that could be installed on a slightly uneven floor?

We also live in the Midwest (Cleveland) and our basement, along with basically our entire county, flooded recently. We had to rip up the carpeting and we’re starting from scratch. Do you know anything about how well the vinyl tiles hold up to moisture and potential water damage?

Hey Renee! The ceilings are 86″ and I have no concrete feelings about the lighting yet. Once the basement is completed I will mess around with different temperatures of light bulbs in the recessed areas to see what looks best. The recessed lights will be on a dimmer and we will only have them on when we really need light down there. It is a basement after all and it’s not the brightest space in our home. I’ll let you guys know what I discover as I work the kinks out. Thanks!

I think the pictures make it looks shiny, it’s not really that way in real life. I normally don’t shoot with lighting on, but I was without my tripod so I had to illuminate the space ;/

Hey Shanti! I’m not sure if the turntable will be realized as soon as we move in to the basement, but I’m sure it will be coming sometime down the road.

I agree – I hope we can all use it equally. I want the kids to have space to enjoy wit their friends, but I also want it to be a place where the old man and I can take in a movie on the weekends.

Looks great. Can’t wait to see the final reveal. Hubby and I have been contemplating a basement remodel and your work is fabulous inspiration. How high are the ceilings in your space? And how do you like the recessed lights? I heard that the cans do a really good job of lighting the floor but that fixtures that wash the ceiling with light seem more like natural daylight. Would love to hear your experience in choosing lighting.

It will be so nice to have more usable space, especially as your kids get older!

Here’s a link to the website: http://www.prosourcewholesale.com/ I can’t remember exactly because everything gets filtered through our general contractor but I think ti was about $5 a square foot – but they have flooring in all different price ranges.

Thank you for the speedy reply!

I’m local, can you recommend the installer who did it for you? Also, I can’t remember if you (as a blogger) post with how much projects cost…can you give me an idea of how much it was for your basement? If you prefer to be vague, was it a more like a mortgage payment or an all expense paid trip to Australia? :) Thank you!!

Hey Brooke! Here is the exact flooring that we installed. It’s also known as Luxury Vinyl Tile or (LVT for short). If you google it, you will see tons of examples.

If a piece of it ever needs to be replaced all we have to do is use a heat gun to release the glue and replace the slat. I’m really happy with it so far!

I need to change out the carpet in my basement and was thinking of doing laminate hardwood but I like everything you just said about the vinyl floor you put in and from the pics it looks pretty nice. Can you give me more details now? Pretty please? :)

Also, everything looks great! That is a basement I for sure would love to hang out in. I’m trying to get my place to that level.
