Living Room Transformation into Rec Room

walls now walking into here this is the official i believe the living room which is kind of weird because nobody really uses these kind of rooms and because how grand it already feels with a centered fireplace that's right in the middle and the big windows and stuff i thought would be really cool is if and this is weird right because you don't really do this but we actually put a dividing wall up here to create its own little like rec room yeah so we're gonna close this all up so this will be all closed we're gonna do these big huge barn doors big huge ones probably around that like nine foot or something like that maybe eight nine feet they will move out to the to the side it'll still be welcoming they'll be double uh the size and at the same time you can close and you'll have an official bonus room we said bonus room together that's cute [Laughter] we're so cute so now one of the things that i've always wanted and asked arena that if we found a house with like a basement i've always wanted to create this nice cool lounge feel and though this house is not or does not have a basement in fact it's on a concrete slab uh this would have been a perfect opportunity to turn this into that like a lounge area so what i always want to do is we're going to put a pool table down here we're going to have a nice big sectional facing this wall with a nice big family tv time you know movie theater kind of feel um nice board and bat batting all around and uh what do you want to do with this fireplace yeah so we're gonna demolish this obviously um make this ball obviously i will um make this all a huge concrete um what is it like back or this whole entire thing will be concrete we'll do a cool nice earthy looking um beam across it and yeah it will be a different definitely different kind of vibe and of course as you see there's a window i hate these windows that go from one room to another but the nice thing is what we're gonna do is we're gonna fill this in and because i'm gonna have to tear some of the drywall apart i'm gonna have to actually use a perfect opportunity to put insulation inside of it that's like more noise canceling so stepping right back into this house is the kitchen she has more of a vision for this kitchen than i do so we're gonna take this peninsula out kind of like we did in our old house um it just it creates too much of like a divide and i love the open concept feel so we're gonna take this out um and then create a long island going
