They don’t have to be dark and scary, and that’s the challenge I’m tackling with this makeover. This is my friend Karis’ dated basement room that I’ve been asked to turn into a cozy guest bedroom. It won’t be easy, but I think we can make it happen—and it needs to happen quickly, as she has guests coming over very soon. So watch as I DIY a shiplap half wall, bring in a Murphy bed, upcycle the built-in shelf and create a truly cozy basement bedroom.

BOOOO to the Peter Thiel book on the shelf (he's literally the most evil person in the world right now, responsible for the horrible technofiefdom we're about to enter, doing most of the surveillance for the government and private entities). Yay to everything else, it's just lovely!
Love the room but wow that painting! Incredible work of art
that original wall feature was giving frank lloyd wright, no?
Leonard Cohen & Peter Thiel!!!?? Quite the book collection.
Sat here looking at the hemming and screamed at the screen to swap the last two curtains and see if the one under the bulkhead was maybe the right length for the full wall so only one needed to be hemmed.
I’m always so triggered when they put unwashed bedsheets 🫠
There’s nothing gross about that basement and the wall structure was interesting and unique.
Kelsey nailing it with the basement makeover once again
My daughter has a giant basement and I told her she should make a massive master bedroom down there. I can’t wait to show her this video. Great job,
omg this room just looks so relaxing and soothing to stay in, yall did great!!
Loved how you saved the shelves
KELSEYYYYY!!! I have been missing “Making Home” so much I literally rushed to watch this video as soon as I got notified For some reason thinking about “Making Home” makes me feel so nostalgic
But does the mattress fit over the painting when the murphy bed is up?
With the cinderbrick, open adjustable shelving and light yellow wood I was having dorm room flashbacks. The "after" is so cozy, and flexible I need to watch some 90s romcoms now. I am also loving that Kelsey raided her own wardrobe instead of her friend's 😂
love all the curtains and fabric to muffle the sound and soften the space!
quick tip: When the screws or nails are really long and you're trying to pull them out with a hammer, put a block of wood between the hammer head and the wall. It does two things: 1 protects the wall if it's not concrete and 2. it makes it easier to rock the nail puller because you've got something further out from the wall to push against! Love Karis' name! My daughter is named Karris! Still at the beginning of the video but I have great expectations
You did an incredible job. The room looks warm, welcoming and functional. Beautiful choice of rug, and the curtain wall is perfect. LOVE the art!
We have had a murphy bed in our den for 25 years. Original mattress! Everyone who visits compliments us on the comfortable bed. It looks like an armoire-lovely
Following you for like 10 years and never showed up so early 🎉❤😂
Amazing work! Motion sensor looks like it goes to an old security system. My house has similar ones (from the 80s or 90s we think). Since this looked to be an old architect's office, there might have been sensitive content in the blueprints, so a motion sensor makes perfect sense.
