Basement Wet Bars











A basement kitchen can be a highly functional part of your home. This is especially true if you have visiting family members, a live in relative, or a kid who just won't leave. By adding both a kitchen and full bathroom to your basement, you are creating an additional living unit that can provide additional income. One of the first steps in designing your kitchen or wet bar is choosing the right appliances. In most cases, people go for the bigger fridge in order to serve as an overflow for the main unit. There are also smaller units that will fit under a base cabinet. A wine cooler is also a popular feature to add under you base cabinets.

Granite counter-tops have become a standard in Johnson County remodeling for both kitchens and wet bars. When properly maintained, granite counter tops should outlast everything else in the kitchen. With today's competitive market, granite prices are as low as $35 per sq ft installed.
