Format:Paperback
Shows many excellent basements, which are inspiring for what can be achieved. However, that glosses over the fact that most people want to add a room or two without spending $20,000 or more. Does not have enough info if you are a DIYer.

This is the basements book I was looking for
17 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Finally! An idea-filled book about redecorating and remodeling basements. I love the gorgeous photography and all the planning tips. I think the previous reviewer misunderstood the book -- obviously,this is not a do-it-yourself "build-a-wall" kind of book. (There is plenty of that at the bookstore already.) This book is helping me see all the options and plan how we want our basement to look and function. It's even giving me tips on finding a contractor who will do the work. And my husband loves the specific projectg ideas with actual COSTS included so we can figure out if the estimates we get are reasonable or not. Love the room arranging kit that comes in the book, too. (Can you tell I love this book?)

Nice photos, not enough details
14 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
This book has plenty of great photos of finished basements and is a great "idea book" for someone who is trying to figure out what to do with their basement. However, it seems to be geared toward people who want to come up with a design, and then hire a contractor to implement it. I am plannning to finish my basement myself, and I found this book lacked the detailed information I will need to undertake that task. So, if you just need some ideas, and you plan to hire someone else to get the job done once you've planned it -- this book is great. If you're planning to re-do your basement yourself and need detailed information about how to do it, look elsewhere.
