Thanks Slim Furniture for making this basement renovation possible! Check out their modular furniture here: bit.ly/2zR8EIz and get a free ottoman with purchase - for a limited time only!
Damaged walls and a worn out stained carpet were just some of the challenges in this makeover but with lots of creative and inexpensive projects that are also easily reversible, it was transformed from a dark and neglected basement into a bright and inspiring creative space where I can experiment and test out new design ideas.
Here are more links to some of the products I used in the video:

I can’t understand how your videos don’t go wild! They’re so good! I love your ideas!
this woman is incredible
I agree..
This is your best video. Love this and DOABLE for us that are unskilled.
I loved the light panels. Such a great idea!!
I love love love your combination of practicality, design and capability!

Your imagination is amazing! 👏👏 Thanks for the great ideas 😊
Welcome back. I'm so delighted that you will have new videos for us! I LOVE your ideas. If you're ever in the Austin area, please come pimp out my house!!!
good to see you posting ! always helpful, inspiring info. Thanks Isabelle
You really know how to make helpful videos! Good visuals, proper narration, and tight editing. Great!
I love the make over! I have a similar basement, the panel is very cool to bring more lighting inti the soace5, the carpet tiles from Ikea great idea!!! I have shopped for tjose, and they can be expensive and are not nice in color and pattern if your on a budget. I forgot about IKEA! The modular furniture us very neat too. Seems like now a days you have to be bersitle in everything you do and have. Looking forward to seeing more of the videos!
Nice. I would add a yellow or beige (similar to the curtain) throw blanket on the furniture, though. You did a nice job making it not look like a basement anymore.
Wow! Merci LaRue! We Appreciate Your Creative Skills and Budget friendly Innovations!
You are an absolute hero, not like those other youtbers who spent tons of money for stuff that have only one use. you are so so so so so so genius. great,- i ust honestly enjoy all the videos, because they are helpful, smart and functional. Thanks for all your diys
The carpet tile is a great idea. 🤔 I may have to use that one.
As an avid DIYer/lover of design, I have become a huge fan. I have been collecting pallets and I am very excited about useing them!!
Awesome ideas!!! You are so talented and always think outside the box! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your projects are ALWAYS perfect!
Whew what a clever woman.
Love see you post! Missed your videos!

You should get your own show at HGTV!
The makeover was interesting....the slim furniture looks nice....but high...$650 for the unit you used.
Floor tiles are definitely a good choice for the look it gives
All in all a great idea.
Z'Nyce London right now we are giving away the ottoman with purchase so the unit she used would cost $525 for all four pieces.
Very nice! Now, I have to get started! I loved the brightness, that you created in that basement!! Well done! 👍😃👍
You could revolutionize design with your clever, functional ideas!!
Welcome back. So glad you will be making new videos. Can't wait to see them.
Wow this was high end deco on low budget just wow with some cool ideas.
Great ideas, specially the lightpanel, the carpet tiles and the doors. But everything turned out well! 👍
Terrific ideas and outcome!

Wow! I love the end result -especially that lighted panel and plan to make one for my own basement. Thanks for sharing!

Simply amazing
You are a magician! So talented... I've never seen anything like this before
I'm worried about fire safety. The lights behind the panel, how hot do they get?
I love the way the panel looks but I need to be safe.
I Love it, you are so creative and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Continued Blessings!
You are a very talented woman!
Amazing, really love the whole thing idea. Best wishes from Northern Ireland. 😃😃😃😃😃

Great video, I really like the wall panel 😆
I just checked yesterday to see if you'd uploaded anything new, so it's great to see this video!
Thanks for this great transformation!
You should consider hands in training courses as you are so good. One of my dreams is to go out and work with you in a project.
I LOVE your channel!! As soon as I see you've uploaded a video I watch it. Thanks so much for awesome ideas!!
Good video. Can you give some tips on a temporary garage living space?
Very nice 😍
Genius!
Just FYI, the slim furniture and Ikea links don't work.

Can you show a sample for makeup room or a room for shooting, editing and many more please
So Inspiring ! Creativity to its best! Love your posts !
Great! Thank you so much for your videos from the southern Spain. I wonder if you have a link for more details on the sliding doors added to the wood shelf. Thanks again 😉
Clever!
AMAZING!! 👍👍
Do you have any ideas- I am sur eyou do! - for a rounded living room/dining room in one? the kitchen is in one corner with a round bench, and the fireplace is in another corner. Thank you!
Yay! You're back!
Your projects are too advance for me, I’m skill-less but you’re awesome
I love your Videos!! I'm always so excited when I see you posted a New one 😀
As everything else this looks amazing. You're brilliant! 🤗
I absolutely love your creativity and professionalism ❤️, I'm hooked. would you be able to do a diy for a head board? Just an idea. I'm glad I came across your channel. 👍🏻
Thanks for your lovely vids! Could you please have on the screen also the dimensions in metric system?
Brilliant and inspiring as always! Love it!
Love see your videos ....sych a great job you do ......love from morocco
Cool!
How you make a hanging or floating entertainment center with a mantel?
I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them!
Wowww, really nice!!!
What did this project cost
Missed you!
Can you diy a van for temp living/traveling?
Wow, you are amazing!!!
Love everything
The link for slim furniture doesnt work
well done!
i’m a disabled female veteran and i’m searching for inexpensive ways to make my 1959 home handicap adapted. i’ve begged my VA for years with no help. narrow doors and turn radius are two huge problems. i served post Vietnam and pre 9/11, so i do not qualify for charity organizations like those seen on TV. former Sen. Jeff Sessions was my representative and he was even less useful than the VA. thank you in advance for any ideas.
You have a great channel..love all your videos..😚😚
Love it!
Hi... do we have to pay property tax for this finish?
Loved the back light project! You are very hardworking!! But I think a thrift store furniture would have done a better job in terms of bringing more color character comfort n in lesser/same price! This white furniture looked the most diy-ed in the room! And it’s file cabinet like base made the whole set up look strangely “clinical’! No hate I m one of your oldest viewers and I love your work.. this was just my opinion 💕💕
I love your videos!
You're amazing
Nice
Where can I get the modular seating?
the company called slim furniture .. the company no longer selling to individuals and no longer selling these types of modular sofas
Like always, Huge like!!
amazing!
Isabelle, how does a person get ahold of you to hire you? Thank you.
Graduated from Concordia University? Is this the one in Montreal? (Like me!)
I love the chairs. Where did you get them? Maybe I missed it if u said so.
Hey Edwina, here is a link to the chairs she used: slimfurniture.com/product/slim-26-bench/
Thanks for the complement!
Slim Furniture thank you for answering back.
Can you pack everything (cushions and rails) inside the box part/base?
A L the cushions can store in the base but the back rail is too big. Something else cool is the compact modules can totally store in the full size units.
Are you from Montreal? Maybe I misread your diploma (Concordia University) but if you're here PLEASE save me and my space.
Love the wall. Love the idea of the furniture, but it doesn’t look comfortable.
Thanks Kat! The cushions are definitely more on the firm side but they feel comfortable to me - It's all a matter of personal preference!
EngineerYourSpace Where did you get it?
