"Our house actually caught fire six weeks after we purchased it. We'd always planned to finish the basement eventually, but the fire became a silver lining. Since we were forced to live out of the house for repairs, we decided to pull the renovation timeline forward and took the opportunity to build out the basement while everything else was being restored."
"The basement project took just three months from start to finish - a remarkable turnaround, considering the space started with literal dirt floors. The couple worked with an architect and contractor on the project, but designed every aspect of the 330-square-foot space themselves, from picking out the stunning bathroom tiles to choosing statement-making fixtures, art, and furniture."
A 1885 Boston home's basement underwent a complete transformation from an unfinished dirt-floor space into a sophisticated mother-in-law suite. The homeowners, Shard Marchewski and her husband Jens, accelerated their renovation timeline after a house fire forced them to live elsewhere during repairs. Working with an architect and contractor, they personally designed the 330-square-foot space, selecting bathroom tiles, fixtures, art, and furniture. The project was completed in three months at a cost of $80,000. Shard Marchewski, founder of home decor brand Muse & Kin and former Global Head of Inclusion at Wayfair, applied her design expertise to create a stylish, functional suite within their 3,600-square-foot home.
