Retro Ranch Reno: Media Room + Wet Bar Reveal! (Ep. 17)

[@rikwen96]

I could see everyone piling down here at night to catch a movie or play a board game in this pandemic. The kids have a great space to play on rainy days without driving their parents crazy and the whole area looks so inviting that I am not sure anyone coming in from the garage is ever going to make it upstairs. This is a 5 star basement Sarah, I do love it, even if you were only using what was already in place.

[@debschreiner9171]

I am a newer subscriber and I have to say--I love your style and can't wait to binge watch more videos. That basement is - full stop - magnificent. Big, big fan!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Welcome to the channel Deb! Good news - I've got TONS of binge-worthy videos for you! Happy watching!

[@kakylong2]

Sarah, I love your designs because they are timeless. I've watched your t.v. show reruns from 10 - 15 years ago & you can't tell by the design they are not current. You are classy & I love your taste.

[@vivienmcnaul109]

I agree

[@margotucker750]

So do I , hands down my favorite designer

[@PetriIvanov]

100%true...

[@carmenrosario1709]

Moving the stairs and adding the glass, has to be my favorite. And that sofa with the double chaise! OMG

[@elipsis6700]

The open stairs with the glass is my absolute favourite element...WOW! What a difference.

[@brentreed9065]

If I could have one designer do my home with complete rule it would be you. This property went from trash to treasure. Thanks again for sharing your talents. GO Sarah!!!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Wow, thanks Brent!! I'm happy to hear you're loving the series!

[@Joan-qh8lw]

Love the double chaises - ingenious . May never make it to bed though.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Joan! You may be right!

[@kathyearhart]

Another beautiful reveal! Jealous as this definitely trumps by creepy basement - but most other do! I do love the glass stairs. Adds to the lightness of the space.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much Kathy!

[@frenchpizza9725]

That's a home. Bravo warrior. You are good. First Nations here.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!

[@SueV123]

And Designer of the year goes to......Sarah Richardson! Love this basement transformation. The whole ranch is so beautiful Sarah. Really enjoyed watching thia while series....hope you are chill'in on the the Bay now.😊💗😎

[@s.b.6571]

Wow! Fabulous! You are still the best.

[@katherinekelly5380]

What a transformation!! Amazing job! It really doesn’t look like the same space - it changed from I place I would have avoided to a place I wouldn’t want to leave! Love the collaboration with all the crew - Minister-of- Exteriors hit another one out of the part with staircase 😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎💙💙💙

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much Katherine! I feel the same way! I've got a few more things to show you so please stay tuned!

[@katherinekelly5380]

Sarah Richardson won’t miss it! 😍

[@nancysmith3151]

Sarah, your design is top notch. I love everything you design and look forward to each episode. This basement is incredible.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much!

[@MunroStuff]

Glad Sarah landed on a custom pingpong table rather than a pool table - will age much better. :) Fun that it was found in the wall!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Imagine if I went with the bowling alley!?

[@MunroStuff]

@@SarahRichardsonDsgn Future show. You never forget an idea. ;)

[@arcy5798]

Why not both? It's a rental..tastes will be eclectic. Our pool table has a top that swaps out to a full size ping pong table. It appears her custom $$$$ and would be FRUSTRATING for pong players as it is not near the proper size. My mom used hers for holiday seating once the grands were soo many and old enough to police themselves.

[@cindymusselman5084]

Great job! You are so talented! Love how you use your leftovers and allow what may be a problem become a solution! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much! You always gotta be resourceful! Especially during a pandemic!

[@marthaspector9075]

Your furniture collection is beautiful!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much Martha!!

[@miriamayala5757]

Bravo Sarah!!! Basement such a party space for adults and kids!!!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Miriam!

[@mrodriguez7135]

This room really hits home about when you say it's those subtle changes in the design that make a difference. In this case, the fire place and staircase became works of art. I would enjoy spending time in such a contemporary and comfy room for entertainment purposes. And, the wet bar is incredible!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Magda! It really is!

[@mirjamvank3782]

Former owners I imagine, must be amazed watching your make over

[@doanetriggs6254]

It is such a joy to see a designer who utilizes the leftovers! What a dramatic validation of the value of making use of “scraps” that morph into an art piece of design work.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Doane! I find we've had to do a lot of that during this reno thanks to the pandemic.

[@fredadutoit6214]

I just love the see through staircase! It disappears! And the ping pong tables is a great idea! Well done! I am watching, again at 4:00 while baking bread for our community. Covid is raging through South Africa and we try stay ay home as much as possible! Looking at how famous decorators spend their time. Thank you, I always enjoy your program .

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hey Freda! I hope you're staying safe and practicing social distancing. What you're doing for your community is wonderful and I'm happy to hear I can provide you with some form of relief through entertainment! Thank you for being a fan and watching!

[@dinalander]

Yes yes yes, things always work out! Love your approach Sarah and love how nice you are to your team!! GREAT JOB!

[@lizk1780]

Sarah, you've designed the perfect basement! It's airy, cosy, spacious, practical, and beautiful! I love everything about it! Great job once again!

[@mollyp7559]

So many glorious moments in this room. But that ping pong table! 😍 I loved it at first glance and then the story behind it- so good. Thanks for doing what you’re doing. Such an inspiration.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm so happy to hear I've brought you inspiration Molly!

[@gilliandelledonne4713]

Love this room, and I'm stealing your ceiling idea :-)

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Go for it!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Love the creative use of leftovers and freebies. So satisfying and clever.

[@kmjnkns]

I didn’t think I would like anything better than the living room, but the media room is fabulous! So many great ideas!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

I'm happy to hear I've one upped myself! Stay tuned though as there's a lot more great reveals on the way!

[@URAUNTSANDI]

on my vision board...Sarah to design my kitchen and bathrooms . I LOVE this design Sarah.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you! I'm hoping you're going to love what's to come!

[@URAUNTSANDI]

@@SarahRichardsonDsgn I am never disappointed

[@lindapeterson5992]

I had noticed the ceiling detail when you were showing the bar area, thank you so much for completing the tour with why/how the trim detail was added. Amazing what 1x2 and paint can achieve. Cheers

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Glad you enjoyed it! There's a lot more to come Linda so please subscribe if you haven't already!

[@medhiak391]

Sarah I love how you care about the budget. What I likr most about your designs are that they are clever and budget friendly. BUT look amazing. maybe a new video idea would be a specific master class in how to take an expensive idea or look and do it on a budget. like go through the steps. xx

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hey Medhia! That's a good idea! I'm wondering if I could do it vlog style like my desk video? You can see that here by the way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5rRXnanoZmShZo

[@medhiak391]

@@SarahRichardsonDsgn Thanks! Yes definitely vlog style would work. And if some of the items were from an international store like ikea (where most people around the world can purchase them) that would be the icing on the cake. But I think the main focus is the method/way you would do it. xx

[@timcarrington5977]

Biggest change with basement reno’s for me, is getting all the electrical, plumbing etc sorted, so a finished ceiling can be applied. The quick fix of a drop ceiling, in my opinion, never looks good enough to bring the level of finish up enough, to stop a basement from feeling like a basement. Using the same quality finishes, as you use on the main level, in a basement, is so worth the investment and something a lot of people scrimp on. Then they are left with a room that doesn’t feel great and they tend to not use it. And like you’ve said before, it’s real estate that you’ve already paid for, so use it. Especially in a bungalow, the basements are always huge. Great job, again, by you and the team from SRD.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Tim! Good insights!

[@pf5658]

Sarah, this just seems to get better and better with every other room you show. Take note folks. Remember who to call when you win the lottery and decide to buy or build a house. We can all dream. Right? 😂

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you! There's still more to see, so get ready for even BETTER room reveals! Please stay tuned!

[@pf5658]

@Sarah Richardson - You are welcome. I am looking forward to it.😊

[@michellelucarelli8899]

That ping pong table is so beautiful and even more, the extra functionality!! Amazing!! I want one for my basement 😂 love love love the wet bar. It’s magic!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@cindydevries2077]

I too have watched Sarah Richardson over the years and always love her design ideas! I also love that I can watch her on KZbin now since here in the U.S. I had trouble finding her shows!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hey Cindy! That's the whole reason we started the channel! The best part? it's all FREE to watch here on KZbin! Watch whenever you want, wherever you want!

[@MommaFromScratch]

It’s so bright for a basement and looks so nice open with the glass stairs. So so good !!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

It really is! I'm glad you like it!

[@gigss3439]

Love the entire basement, especially the staircase. Your budget-conscious focus is always appreciated. The entire house just flows beautifully!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much!

[@3catscarefreelife]

Countertops and stainless doors are very nice, still pondering the wallpaper.🙃

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hey Linda! Thank you! If you're not feeling the wallpaper I've got a ton more to choose from: ca.shopsarahstyle.com/collections/wallpaper Happy designing!

[@ReidandShane]

Wow! Absolutely love this basement - masculine, open, fresh, bright! What a great Sarah idea for a glass wall for the stair case! Love, love, love!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@ladyjames6135]

I love this. My favorite is the double lounge on the sofa. I never would have thought to by two and pair them.

[@VoxUrania]

That basement ceiling is a fabulous idea, which might save my marriage. We had a treatment like that in my family basement, growing up. I suggested recently for my house, but Hubby couldn’t “picture” it. Well now he doesn’t have to. “Oh sweetie....”

[@claudetteshock5830]

I need this basement design in my house!!! I got to say I really love this basement! Thank you for the great ideas💞💓💕

[@robinjohnston376]

Everything is fabulous! That wallpaper!!!!!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Thanks for showing us around. Inspiring.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

My pleasure! I'm glad you found it inspiring!

[@duchessa44]

I thought the wet bar wallpaper was tile!!!!!! Looks amazing! The furniture layout, selection, accessories, glass partition between the two area......... well, it is all just fantastic! Congratulations on another fabulous space in the Retro Ranch!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Anne! I'm glad you love it!

[@jennifergraham612]

Sarah did it again. Timeless, gorgeous. .

[@erics1950trailer]

“Glory of the tweak” Love it!!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Sarah, Invisirail is sooo your new fav vendor! I bet many dollars that their products will be a part of many, many of your future renos! So glad to pop a Friday after work IPA and watch this reveal. As I’ve said before, y’all are gonna have 365 worth of reservations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hey Darrin! Invisirail has come through time and time again for me so of course I'll keep using them! They deliver a very high quality product! Enjoy the IPA!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Sarah, The great thing about this company is that their product line is vast enough that you don’t have to go custom with every install. Their products have made such a huge difference your designs; I certainly have them bookmarked for future use!

[@peggywarren8112]

My mantra is proper utilization of space and turning the landing is a perfect example of that because it affected the flow of movement within the basement. I applaud you using glass in the stairwell. The bar is gonna be fun to use. Well done Sarah.

[@janettekenos3674]

Love this fun basement! My favourite ”wow” parts are the wallpaper in the bar area and that ping pong table. The fact that it is pretty enough to double as an extra dining room table, is genius 💕

[@tessm712]

Dear Sarah, you're the best! Normally, I wouldn't consider using such a dominant geographic wallpaper, however, you always seem to get the balance right. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and for posting them on KZbin.

[@DebzZi]

What a transformation!!! Wow! Stunning, chic & contemporary but also inviting and relaxed! Love it, glass and stainless are a match made in heaven when done right😍

[@sandyg.3454]

Fantastic job Sarah and crew!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Glad you enjoyed it Sandy! There's always more on the way so I do hope you stay tuned!

[@DCT14]

I spy polka dot pillows in the bing pong room, LOL! Love this space. What a wonderful home for a very lucky family. Great work Sarah!

[@diogenes7047]

Fantastic! I thought the bar wallpaper was tile! Such a fun basement. Love all that you do, such talent!

Wow I love it looks amazing love the colour palette 🎨 your guests will love it. Thanks Sarah it’s beautiful.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much!

[@jamjam1933]

Another great basement renovation especially the bar and stairs. Not totally fussed on the chairs by the fireplace, it reminds me of the 90s armchairs but in the past I have 100% liked everything you do and learnt alot from watching you about styling my own homes.

[@mandismitht2265]

so many great ideas here! Double chase, so good! And the glass wall, ping pong table, and that wet bar - just great!

[@bukharina1]

Love every aspect of this basement from the wall paper to the double chaise and the open stairs with the glass. Sarah, I must say you are a designer who knows how to stretch the budget yet deliver beautiful & timeless result s.

[@barbaradempsey7065]

Love everything! The open stairs is stunning. That double chaise is brilliant.

[@pamelairvin3164]

As lovely as the rest of the house has been, THIS basement space is right now my favorite! The serendipitous elements touch my heart...I'm a big sucker for "whatever can be used to serve the purpose with style" and the basement fits the bill perfectly. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks for unique and classy design. Blessings!

[@sydneykasmar]

Love the story of the ping pong table and your design idea of spray painting the net grey! Thank you!

[@laurahopkinson5138]

Yet another stunning room! I’m almost getting sick of how good this rental is! The basement ceiling treatment is so great. Saves time and had a really dramatic effect. Gonna have to add that and a few other things from this video to my reno wish list. Thanks so much!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much Laura! You're getting sick of how good the rental is!? You better not watch the videos coming as they're more of the same great content you're seeing here! ;)

[@suziehatfield9398]

Wow Sarah if I was looking for a home to rent I would flip if I was the luckily family who got to move in to this home! No one could ask for anything more. I have to ask does the furniture come with it and what do you rent it for, sadly I live in ky usa. Once again I want to tell you every thing you have done so far with the exception of the dragon headboard😱! Lol

[@ritytaylorclay9168]

Perfection at its best! High five on those polka dot pillows. Btw, congratulations on your furniture collection great tables.

[@pcather1370]

ITS SOOO AWESOME!!! The whole space is simplicity at its finest! When you add that with the small punches of wow like the fireplace, the shiny clear glass on the staircase and the windows that look like a piece of artwork just finishes it off perfectly. Before you said something about the ping pong table being used for extra dinning space I thought the same ! Great minds think alike...just sayin lol! The wallpaper and stainless steel in the wet bar are one of your unexpected and out of the ordinary surprises!!! LOVE IT!!!

Deoganale lines in green-blue with gray in the bar, not bad looking, pin-pong table looks great too, bar cabinets good high-tech design and planning , great work Sarah .

[@c.w.3750]

Wow now that’s a renovation. I would have chosen the dark colour in the basement but look at all that light! Going light really makes the basement brighter. I do like that marble fireplace. I do agree with the dark couch - I’d call dibs all day on that couch. The small kitchen is awesome in a basement. I kinda like that the wall paper beneath the cabinet looks like tipis! So Canadian.
