Remodeling a Basement into a Dream Space: The Stenzel Family Project
Introduction
At Victoria Renovations, we pride ourselves on turning dreams into reality. Our recent project with the Stenzel family in Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, exemplifies our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction. This comprehensive remodel focused on transforming the Stenzel’s basement into a multifunctional living area, incorporating modern aesthetics and practical solutions for everyday living.
The Vision
The Stenzel family envisioned a basement that would not only serve as an entertainment hub but also provide functional spaces such as a wine room, laundry room, and an additional bedroom. With this vision in mind, we embarked on a journey to bring their dream to life while ensuring a dust-free, occupied remodeling experience.
Construction Highlights

- Custom Features
- Wine Room: Under the stairs, we created a bespoke wine room with custom-built cabinets and a frameless glass door, perfect for showcasing the Stenzel’s collection.
- Barn Door: A Masonite 42 in. x 84 in. Z-Bar Knotty Alder Wood Barn Door was installed in the basement bedroom, adding rustic charm and functionality.
