I have a full basement under my home, but it is not finished. My laundry room is located in the basement, and the rest of it is wasted space. My kids had too many toys to keep them in their bedrooms, so they asked if they could use the basement as a playroom. I really didn't have the money to carpet the basement floor, so I bought two octagon area rugs. They provide just the right amount of space for the kids to play.
