Anthony and Kristie Faletra's basement has been riddled with challenges, from the closing day flood to a last-minute, disastrous paint choice. The couple is ready to turn the room over to rookie designer Allison Couture. Incorporating the Faletras' love of baseball into the design, Couture transforms the room into a sophisticated, sporty room with areas for child's play and adult recreation.
Before: Dreary Dark Wood
The old built-in cabinets offer little in storage and style. The cabinet and trim wood is too dark and dominates the space with a heavy, awkward presence. Plus, the Faletras have never liked their paint choice, but they were too worn out from the painting project to try again and are stuck with what they call "the horrible blue."For all available product information, click on the After photo(s) of the room.
