This week we are heading downstairs to the basement to escape from the summer heat. With temperatures rising now is the best time to stay inside and work on creating a space you’ll appreciate year round.

We’ve pulled some of our favorite DesignMine photos. Fair warning, there are a lot of pool tables but you will also see a number of ideas to get you started on your next home project.

Which one is your favorite? Tell us below or on Twitter using #DesignMine.
