Basement Concession Stand
While finishing our basement we decided it would be a good idea to add a little concession area to our entertainment zone. Makes for a good space to play games and grab a snack.
First thing is to determine a good location and after opening up this stair wall this corner felt like a good space.
I continued to build the walls and drywall this corner section in to finish off the space as needed.
Drywall work was then completed by taping and using joint compound to finish the corners and seams.
Using pre-made cabinets I positioned everything into place to test fit. And completed using a birch butcher block top.
Feeling the space still needed a little more functionality we decided to add some seating by continuing the butcher block off of the corner and adding a few stools for seating.
It was now time to add the backsplash I completed this using subway tile. I precut a lot of the pieces to make installing quick and easy as you will see in this video.
Tile was complete so next step in this process was to grout in. Using a darker charcoal grout to compliment the white tile.
With the messy work out of the way I ran the palm sander over the countertop to clean it all up before staining and top coating using a dark wall nut stain
Add in the lights and appliances as well as a few baskets for snacks and you have your own concession stand to enjoy.
