Hi friends, Priscilla, here again, to share the final Tudor basement reveal! This time we’re taking a tour of the teen bedroom Emily and I collaborated on. It’s part of a larger basement remodel (see mudroom, bathroom, and living room posts here). The client is Emily’s best friend Robyn, and her family. They are super lovely, very down-to-earth, and outdoorsy (very Portland in the best way:). So it was not surprising that their 12-year-old son, J, wanted a look that highlighted his love of mountain biking and the Pacific Northwest for his new room. These nods to the outdoors became a jumping-off point for the theme and colors in the space. Never having worked on a teen room before, I felt a little nervous about making it feel youthful enough. Emily was great at steering us toward bold patterns and prints that felt fun and age-appropriate. Ready to get into all the details?

REMODEL
Remodeling a basement in the Pacific Northwest often involves waterproofing the exterior. That was the first step in the process of addressing the moisture issues the clients had been dealing with. Our contractor JP Macy, also installed a sump pump in the closet to ensure that water would be pumped out to the storm drain and not leak into the space during a heavy rain. Step 2 – change the floorplan. The room was originally a carpeted bathroom. This initial footprint was too large to be a bathroom and too small to be the bedroom we needed, so we had to borrow some square footage. The adjacent storage room had plenty of space, easily allowing us to carve out an ample closet and built-in desk for J’s new room. To ensure the space was up to code, JP installed an egress window for some natural light. Once permitting went through, we had a bedroom! After a little door shuffling, the final layout was so much more functional for how the clients wanted to move through and use each space.
