The Basement Design Kit includes everything you need to make your basement great. It includes my four most recommended products, which also happen to be the best selling individual items on the site.

Now you can finish your basement the right way

Basement Ideas is my guide to taking back the wasted space under your feet.

The basic problem this book is intended to solve is simple. There is no good place to go for a guide to basement finishing. Kitchens and bathrooms are very well covered in books and magazines you find almost anywhere.

But not basements. There's a kitchen in your house, I am sure. A bathroom too. But not everyone has a basement. So it's very profitable to make books on kitchens and bathrooms. Basements are a smaller market. Shame. They're so useful it's a pity not everyone gets to have one.

Honey? What's upstairs? I've forgotten.

When your basement turns from that damp, dark hole that your wife doesn't like into a beautiful, comfortable area, you may just forget what the rest of the house looks like. Basements can have more than just carpet and new paint. You can have:

• Kid's Play Rooms - finally a space for the kids!
• Bedrooms
• Bathrooms
• Game Rooms
• Living Rooms
• Home Entertainment Centers
• Offices
• Workout Rooms
• Storage / Utility / Laundry Rooms
• Anything else you can think of!

My book shows you how to plan and design all of these spaces.

It's interesting to note that each type of area has it's own special requirements. In Basement Ideas you'll see how to make each of these work for you. And you'll have fun in the process. The problem solving is really enjoyable.

Better Homes & Gardens Home Designer

This software includes tools for home design and remodeling, including your basement. It also has features that will allow you to do interior design, decks, landscaping and cost estimating. This is the software we recommend for doing all your designs and layouts. It's easy to learn, simple to use, and will do everything you need.

In addition to doing layouts, this software gets REALLY FUN when you start doing 3D renderings. With this feature (VERY easy to use) you can "walk through" your plans and see how it's going to look before ever picking up a hammer. This makes it the ultimate tool for planning your basement remodeling.

I only wish I could show you exactly how fun this is. You're going to love it. And with my floorplans to get you started, you'll have everything you need to make your basement perfect.

I don't think I can stress strongly enough how EASY this software is to use. So don't worry.

I'll show you how to really enjoy designing your basement

But that's not the fun part. The fun part of the process is the 3D walkthroughs. With these you will actually see the way your new basement will look before even lifting a hammer. With the software, you can move about and do a virtual "walk through" of your new home, as well as the homes on the CD..

When designing your basement you can make changes fast and easy. Don't like a wall? Poof - it's gone! Want cabinets? Put them anywhere without any lifting.
