Small & Bright Basement Living Room
Barbara Purdy decorated her own basement like a main floor.
Barbara converted the wood-burning fireplace to gas to create a cosy focal point. “I couldn’t see myself hauling logs down the stairs,” she says. Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile floor heats the basement as well. The sofa, a hand-me-down from her parents, was recovered and layered with pillows.
