Awesome rooms everyone. I've been drawing inspirations from this thread as I worked through the design and building of my basement gameroom. After exactly two years, I'm just putting finishing touches on it now. The space is also a home theater, but it's divided by some custom arches. Only two games currently, but they are the rocks I can grow the collection from moving forward. I'm just a young guy with little time and expensive tastes.
Basically everything you see is custom made by me. I estimate about 7500 individual LED bulbs in this basement. No real previous construction experience. Given enough time and being motivated by the money savings of doing it yourself, you can do most anything. More pictures here -> https://goo.gl/photos/Vs2RhUKLNnFV7XnZ6
Quoted from MustangPaul:VERY nice job, looks very comfortable. No room for a bar?
Thank you. I do enjoy being able to relax down there just about every night.
There is room. No one in my family or immediate family likes alcohol very much, so it wasn't a priority. In the fifth photo there is going to be an area in the corner for refreshments. I figure any future owner will turn the brick portion in to a bar, or maybe I'll do it before I look to sell.
Quoted from Colsond3:Man Cave "bat light" custom made too? Or where did you pick it up? I wouldn't mind ripping that idea from you...that light is awesome. I'd be happy to change the wording so yours remains one of a kind, assuming it is.
That light was made by a local guy in my town. It cost me about $175 if I remember correctly. I have his card around somewhere if you wanted to inquire about shipping. Please rip off my ideas, that would be great flatery.
Quoted from japespin:Awesome space. Looks nice and roomy. Hey is that faux bricks on your walls? If so, can you clue us in on cost and where to buy?
The brick is milwaukee thin brick by glen-gery. Total cost for the bricks, adhesive, and cement board for that room was around $2200. I like it a lot, but it did take a very long time to put it all up and grout it. There are a few manufacturers of thin bricks if you cant find that locally. It's made up the road in Ohio so it was my cheapest option from the local supply house.
Thanks for the compliments!
Quoted from adborto:Figured I'd join in on the fun. It's always changing - who knows what will be there next month. I definitely need more space!
Nice space. I love the air hockey table
Quoted from Max_Badazz:It's been a while since I posted pics..... done some game changes (and took out the bowling alley)...more room now. Snuck in a pic of the Vanilla Ice bathroom and the Billy Dee Williams mini-kitchen
Who makes that puck slide machine? I remember that from the arcade growing up and want one. Nice looking gameroom btw
