Splurge & Save: Deco Basement
On my show this week I gave the Maxim Family Basement a very colorful, Art Deco inspired makeover. It is a huge space with lots of potential but the layout is awkward and intimidating. They love South Beach, they love bold color, and it’s a household filled with laughter and fun. Here’s my inspiration board for this Room Recipe:
Maxim Family Inspiration Board
BUDGET: $3200
SPLURGES:
• Red furniture set that will help bring bold color to the space
• Modern glass bar

SAVES
• Wall mural using our four art deco colors
• 3-D square wall art made from cut wood squares
• Re-purpose existing bar stools
• Drapery to section off the room and make it more manageable and aesthetic
• Sconce wall to provide ambient lighting
• Air hockey table converted to a ping pong table

Hey love the red sofa you bought for the Deco basement. I also loved the mirrors in that scene when you and Kedisha were picking out the red sofa. I would love to know what store that was just for the mirrors alone. I have searched high and low for any info leading to those mirrors and I have had no luck! Would you be so kind as to let me know what store that was and in what state. Thanks so much! love your show!
Just watching this show, and wondered if you could tell me where you bought the red sectional? It's EXACTLY what I need for my space–the chaise is even on the correct side.
how did you etch the glass
Would love to know how you did the sconce wall.
