Buckeye Basements was tasked with turning this 1,300-square-foot unfinished basement space into a media/family room, billiard area, wet bar, wine cellar, bedroom and bathroom with shower. The highlight of the space is a “Bourbon Barrel” wall, requiring the company to track down 12 authentic bourbon barrels of matching color. These barrels were then disassembled and used to create an intricate design on the wall in the billiard room area. In addition, the homeowners wanted to make the barrel head an actual alcohol dispenser, requiring input from a chemistry professor on the necessary components for that project.
