New wife insisted on hiring an Interior Decorator to make my house "less masculine" (ugggh).
To my delight the Decorator INSISTED
we move my 8 pins out of the back cave and integrate them throughout the basement Rec Room.
Her explanation was that "These Pinball Machines are WORKS OF ART!"
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Shoulda married the decorator....
It’s never too late 
Quoted from frolic:So how does the decorator feel about "more art" now that there's more space?
Exactly what immediately came to mind! I thought rather than asking the Decorator (so damn expensive) I'd just buy a couple more pieces of "art."
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Shoulda married the decorator....
Of of the sad words of tongue and pen............
Quoted from Pinless:How much $ did you slip the decorator to say that?
No matter how much, it was a smart move !
I don’t think he slipped her $...!
Quoted from Blakester:an Interior Decorator to make my house "less masculine"
Fortunately you got yourself a "more masculine" decorator.
Quoted from chas10e:The decorator should put up a marketplace ad here.
before & after pics would be cool
Yes she should!
I'm at work but can post some pics when I get home
Btw, new wife hasn't seen the new "art display" in the basement as she's been focused upstairs. Perhaps I can catch her reaction on my cell and post too!
“You said you didn’t want me spending any more money on pinball machines. You didn’t say anything about buying more art!”
Quoted from Monk:In front of a door, that’s interesting. I wonder what other ideas she had.
Door to furnace--put in glass door with strobe--provides interesting backdrop
I agree with the decorator , and I suggest working w/ the wife as well .. From Yr pict's- U have a Nice Pad ,, Keep the Peace and ALL will B Well .. B_R
Quoted from epthegeek:WTF is the arm chair doing in front of the pin?
It isn't--just the camera angle
Quoted from Blakester:It isn't--just the camera angle
The chair in front of dialed in.
My wife wouldn't mind the pins sprinkled throughout the basement like that because I took it to another level and filled every square inch of space. Keep the decorator as a future consultant to convince your wife you are in need of some new art again.

So does that mean you'll have room for 8 more pins in the back cave ? 
I don't know about your decorator, is she your sister-in-law? Pins in front of doors, chairs in the middle of the room, sheesh. At least she had the good sense to put a tin of potato chips on floor near brown chair - a snack bar scores points. Everything else looks fine, where are your other pins?
What everyone is thinking .. are we going to see before (Wife) and after (Decorator) pics?
Hahaha--the decorator has been focused on the upper two floors--she just had my son and I move the pins throughout the lower level as a starting point. I am actually responsible for the crazy "retro futuristic" decor which is there now. The two glass doors lead to nowhere (furnace room, office closet). I swapped out wood doors and put in the glass ones The strobe lights behind the glass doors provide a cool ambiance--tie in with AFM, DI, ST, Star Jet, etc. I'll post pics of the lovely wife tonite--she's thrilled with what the decorator has done upstairs so maybe she'll "flow" with the new pinball configuration.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Do they know why you were taking pics of them? To post on pinside? Lol
Yes, I secured the necessary releases, lol
