that's not your main kitchen?
The whole basement is bigger than some condos here that go for 1/2 mil!

 

Looks real good dom. Though, I was kind of envisioning the pole in the first picture would have been changed to brass for "entertainment" purposes

 

Its small as far as basements go. Only about 650 sq-ft of finished area.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I really wanted to build a built in entertainment unit on that wall but I just wanted to get this over and done with. I've blown enough weekends on this project as it is. Backsplash is up next. And I'm picking up a round kitchen table which is perfect for poker.

moeronn, I tried but the wife wouldn't go for it.

 

I just noticed the evil dog in the background.

Oh, and I can see why your old TV wasnt cutting it

 

Didn't even notice those glowing eyes.

Got that 13 incher for confirmation. Its pushing 16 years old.

 

So where did you finally get those cabinets from? I took a look at the Ikea ones and they had crappy drawers and hardware...

 

That's the TV he has to watch while the rest of the family uses the nice one

 

ass!

Your project makes mine look like shit!

 

^^^
lol owned......

why put kitchen in basement?......can you even vent out the smell if you actually cook?

 

Kitchens sell houses so 2 kitchens ain't bad!
Well at least that's what I thought when I saw it. I would be excited if I found a house with a kitchen in the basement, so much potential!

 

You'll get there Scrib, just takes time.

 

The kitchen is probly overkill. But I put it in because its convienent. Having a party or something down there makes its easy. You can wah dishes and basically do eveything you need to do without having to drag everything upstairs. And we actually plan to stay down there quite a bit and make use of it. One of my buddies finished his basement and watching him go up and down, up and down getting drinks food and going to the bathroom convinced me to put them both in down there.

Not to mention it helps out with the value of the house.

And its vented to the outside. Had to drill a 3 or 4" hole through the brick for that.

 

Ikea.

I definently wouldn't say their of the best quality but not to shabby either. Their solid pine albeit peices of pine. All three peices ran me $669 CAD. Better than the particle board units I saw that were 800+.

Easy to put together too.

 

Looks sweet Dom!

I see you've completed your Italian status with the second kitchen. Good work!

 

Its like there was a voice in my head telling me I had no choice but to put in a kitchen.

Now, where are those plastic covers for the sofa's.

 

When your cooking the lasagna upstairs, you need somewhere to cook the veal

 

And the Mary on the half-shell on the front lawn.

basement looks great. I'm still working on the electrical with mine.

 

wow, oldschool.

 

I think you have to be Italian to see all the possibilities. I've already made great use of the second fridge when having people over. Its great for drinks and fruit.

 

The sad thing is, I think your second kitchen is bigger than my only kitchen.

 

i c...i guess it worked well...awesome
i'd just put bar table or wine collection with small frige or something.....

that's like a small apt down there ...haha cool

 

It's the dungeon for the in-laws!

 

Good job, Dom! Looks great! How long (total) did it take you to do all this, and did you do it all on your own?

 

Now it all makes sense...
