DIY BASEMENT MAKEOVER 2021 | Basement Finish From Scratch 

Several months of work in a few minutes!! Like for Nick and his hours of hard work on this 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Nick has such a good friend in Justin. Thumbs Up to them.

The guys did an awesome job, love the “hip office” feel with the ceiling!

What a transformation!That basement went from dreary to amazing!! Love the floor added to the basement. My husband would love a space like that for his office.

When your husband said he's ready for it to be done I felt that. We just moved and are finishing our basement. And that's after doing the basement at our old house. I'm just ready for it to be done.

As someone who took their 2 bed/ 1 bath ranch-house down to the studs and dry-walled the whole thing, I completely understand how much mudding and sanding Nick did. Way to go! It is hard work, but so so rewarding! This looks great!

Waited for this reveal for a while now so really happy to finally see it 😅 Awesome job Nick! Can’t wait for Carissa to have the time and chance to add her touch to it! Well done! ☺️

I think i would make it into a hangout spot, with like a pool table and a bar. It would also be great because the kids rooms are upstairs, so you would be able to spend evenings down there.

I always feel like I'm watching a TV show with your videos 😍

You should do a storage room make over/ organize video 👍🏼😉🇨🇦❤️

It’s sad how much I have been looking forward to seeing this transformation lol looks amazing!

I’ve been so excited for this video 😍 I can’t wait to watch this amazing transformation Carissa!

I wasn't really digging the open ceiling until you said "Industrial office space" and it hit me and I LOVE IT! Especially with your styling, its gonna be so awesome when its all complete! Great job to Nick and Justin!

Love how you left the ceiling and just painted those beams!! It would've definitely felt closed off if you covered them all! Great job Nick!!!

I've been waiting for this video!!! SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL

It looks amazing! Love how bright and big it looks 😍

It looks so good! I remember when you were down there during a bad storm and now it’s totally functional. Great job Nick (and Justin)!!

I would make the basement the playroom and make the playroom upstairs an office space Amazing how light it feels down there. The flooring and white ceiling really made a difference

I love the industrial vibe!! What a perfect space for Nick. The guys did a great job.... 🤗

Please do a part 2 of the completed space and with your touches. Also stage solution for that nook :)

What about a big mirror over the coach instead of a mural , which would enlarge the room quite a bit??? Love the end result. You guys are awesome! Congrats Nick on your new office space.

What a great video; you must be so proud of the transformation, and so proud of your husband! He did a fantastic job. I was born in Chicago, but have lived most of my life in Florida, and one of the only things i really miss is basements! We can not have basements down here because there is too much water under the ground. Anyway, I would love to have that extra space for home office space for me and my husband, and also study space for our kids. It would also be great to have a second family room. Kids in Florida miss out on hanging out in the basement with friends! One last thing i would love a basement for is to have a proper laundry room down there instead of just a laundry area in the garage. Folding clean laundry 5 feet from lawn equipment and auto supplies just bugs me! LOL Enjoy your new space and your increased storage! 🖤

Definitely worth the wait to see the beautiful end result!! Btw loving the hair 😍

Beautiful. I’m about to start mine this summer. Just floating around looking for ideas.

This gives me joy. I watched it when it first came out but I was not a home owner yet... This is exactly what I needed to get me inspired for my basement

It looks awesome! So light and bright :)

Lots of hard work and so neat that he, his friend and family completed it. What an accomplishment.

Nice job!! I LOVE the trim color!!

Such a fun transformation!

Nick did a great job! Nice to have his friend help too! 👍

That is so much work!! It is such a transformation!

Oh my gosh! I was in need of some motivation to start painting my bedroom and then you upload a video. Perfect timing!

Long term it would be cool to make this the playroom/chill lounge for the girls and give Nick their playroom as his office.

There are a lot of things I'm willing to do in DIY but mudding and sanding is not one of them. It is always worth hiring a professional to do that, as far as I'm concerned. Such a grueling and messy task. Nick did such an awesome job!

Mudding and sanding a room is not joke!! We built some rooms at our mma gym and I had the “pleasure” 🤣 of learning how to mud and sand!!

I like the idea of just painting the joist space instead of boarding it up. Looks great

So excited for a garage transformation next🤣❤

I’ve been dying for this! Great work and shout out to Justin!!!

I love the part when you where painting glade to know I’m not the only one that forgets tags on my clothes 😂

Yea yea yea yea yeaaaaa !!! Been waiting for this video ... Finally here ✨

Looks great, whole new workspace. The light colour makes it not seem like the basement.

I like the industrial ceiling. Glad you showed that because I was actually looking for a nice way to one. Thanks for posting

Looks amazing! The drywall and the floors make such a difference. I think putting the couch parallel to the future tv could make a more separated office space. And the desk could go against the back wall where the toy shelf is. Just an idea!

You’re dog is adorable!! Also amazing transformation!!!

they done an out standing job on dry wall... i know your so proud an appreciate him an his friend, ur such great wife bragging on him! love love ur channel ,

I Can't to see final product!AMAZING!!!!

What a great space for your family. Your husband and his friend did such a good job! Your home is beautiful ❤️

Looks amazing...they did a great job!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great job! I love the color of the floor..good choice, it helps to brighten the room..and the beam is 👌

Cool! You inspired me to make my basement!

Amazing job, guys! I'm so jealous. I want to attempt this but I'd be doing it on my own and it would take forever. So worth it though! Congrats! 👏

Great transformation!

You should put a projector up and make it like a movie room!!

Great job Nick!

Looks great as always! Thanks for keeping it real as this is how projects go in real life (finishing touches come second to living life). Glad you got some help with this one since you have worked so hard on your house this year. I think if we had a room like this my husband would probably turn it into a gaming room lol. Can’t wait to find out the news you keep hinting at! 😜

Nice!!! Love your work!!

Looks great. Had the same concerns about closing in my basement ceiling but I promise if you throw up some drywall and LED recessed lighting… it’ll look like a finished room and so much more warmer and feel way less like a basement.

I thought you'd make the basement the play room and the extra room up stairs his office. But looks great! You two are rocking the home remodels.

LOVE THAT SINK!!!

Such a big project! That was really nice of your friend to offer all that work for free haha he deserves a tip

Nice and bright for a basement!

Beautiful!

Ooo I love this!

Wow, I love it! I need friends like your guys friend Justin, lol.

Looks so good!!

Great work done by Nick &justin.. 👍🏻.. bedroom looks amazing as background.. Please share video of organising the small area of basement with all the storage

It looks amazing!

Nice job!! Maybe when the girls are a little older. You can make this into a play room/ rec. room for the girls. Each of the girls can have there own bedrooms.

Basement looks great. Did you guys go through the permitting process and how hard was it? Going to start on my basement next year.

Looks amazing and love how the colors really brighten the room. I'm looking to revive a basement room and I was interested in putting the hardwood floors on the cement floor which was previously painted. What floor brand did you use and did you do anything to prepare the cement floor?

The floor is to die for. very nice job

That's awesome! It looks great. I wish we had basements in Texas. :)

Looks great. Add some panels to the sill plate to cover up the insulation and also crown moulding, it will look very nice

Wow that looks great

I love seeing your videos your house is so beautiful inside and out you have such a amazing sense of style

Man cave is what I’ll use it for and biggest thing was the framing and walls!! 😊 good job!!

You should get pipes to run along the ceiling for that industrial vibe

Awesome job nick!

Amazing job!!!

This would of been a gym if it were my house 😄 it looks amazing! Good job guys

Fantastic !!!!

Super 🤩… love love ❤️

When the kids are older that would be there playroom. Mine was in the basement. It was nice to be out of sight out of mind lol. Less chores

I like that you took out the window it looks more modern

It looks amazing!!!!😍

Beautiful floors! Do you remember how much it was to do the whole basement floor?

Love this! Where did you get the lights

looking forward to completing my basement

That book is a pretty beat idea. I should have done that when I started my home renovation haha

Sorry am totally lagging but good job Nick! The basement is beautiful and I am sure it was a huge seller for your beautiful home.

If we had that space it would ABSOLUTELY be a playroom! Lol

In my house, it would be a movie theater or guest bedroom!

What doyou call those lights? The one with the ballast? Nice turnout!

It looks so good

Thank you so much!!

Excellent .beautiful and functional👏👌👌

Wow a nice family space

Looks great 👍 I wouldn't add too many "toys". Maybe just some board games and puzzles for quiet play time. It would make a nice adult game night type of space (monopoly, pictionary, a deck of cards, etc...).

Excellent space, 👍🏻

What a transformation🤩
