Title: Start of the Game Room
Post by: jrivelli on December 28, 2011, 02:21:30 pm
Pretty bare right now, but it has the best part in it!

Plans:
- put in a small bar with a couple seats on the left.
- TV over the pinballs
- Got a nice, huge picture of autzen stadium framed up to hang over the doors (where i took this pic from)
- Perhaps some cabaret cabinets only because they will fit better in the tight space, not too sure yet.

Suggestions for a smaller space of course welcome!

I like the sound of that...

This room is a 12x12

As a note.... I got the wife FULLY on board because I gave her full reign on decorating and then she said she wanted to put this bar deal in there she found and it just kept getting better from there...

We sold some couches her mom gave to us, gave her mom the initial payment and had $300 left over for her to go crazy! ;D

So, I should take a pic of the floor. Notice the blue tape on the wall? That is all over the floor and maps out how to fit 5 pins, 3 full arcades and a cabaret lol!

ha, well played Jim!

This is actually a perfect room since it's a den down stairs. Just a perfectly square 12x12 with 2 large french doors and no closets etc in the way!

I'll post a new pic shortly. We added a bar to it on the left and a couple stools.

Soon to come is 2 lounge chairs and the tv...and of course a cab to the right of the pins :)

Here is a pic of the bar added and autzen stadium portrait to be added above doors when you go in.

The only minus on this room is the vaulted cielings so changing a lightbuld requires moving pins to put down the ladder and go up 12ft, oh wells!
