When the decision for the basement remodel began, our client knew adding a bar was one of her priorities – and that she wanted it to be a highlight of the space. It was designed to give the family a practical, everyday spot for hosting and grab-and-go moments. Before the remodel, everything had to happen upstairs in the kitchen, which made entertaining feel disjointed. They wanted a bar that offered real storage, a place to prep drinks, and a setup that supported how they actually wanted to use the basement.

Our Client's Vision
Wet Bar + Dining Nook Color Palette
Wet Bar + Dining Nook Mood Board
Our client wanted the bar to feel a true sculptural and beautiful standout moment in the basement. She imagined a space that felt warm and organic, but still special enough to anchor the entire living area. The vision was a clean, minimal bar with white cabinetry for brightness, natural stone wrapping the base for texture, and an arched quartzite backsplash that added softness and depth. She wanted the bar to feel inviting for entertaining, but also calm enough to blend seamlessly into the everyday flow of the basement.
The Moonstone Effect
The finished bar is a calm, sculptural moment in the basement remodel – functional enough for everyday use, but elevated enough to anchor the whole space.

client testimonial
We were impressed with how quickly the team worked. We had no delays in our project. I loved working with a woman contractor. It made me feel much more comfortable asking questions + making decisions with someone who was also a mom. It was easy to get ahold of Lidia and her team, and we received daily updates on the progress. We have had our new basement for several months now and really love it! It functions and looks exactly like we wanted, and Moonstone made that happen! We will certainly reach out to Lidia and her team for other home projects in the future.
