Part 5 - Basement Tour

Part 5 - Basement Tour . . . continues /



We left off last time in the kitchen. This is what we will see next. Our family/media viewing room. (Yes, I like to crochet. That's an afghan in red on the floor that I'm crocheting. . . I can't just sit and watch movies or TV, I must keep my hands moving. . . I know. . . strange!)

This is the view coming in from the kitchen. My hubby put in a vent-free fire place. I'm sorry I should have flipped the switch and turned it on before taking pictures. It is very cozy in the evening while watching TV or a movie. We have a fireplace upstairs too, but it seems like we LIVE down here in the basement since it has been finished.

The white wall on the left is actually a projector screen. It's a special paint that is used. We used one called "Goo-Systems." It was very easy. I applied the base and the top coat. . . just like any other paint. We would highly recommend this system if you are considering a projection TV. The great thing about this kind of TV is when it's not on it's not sticking out like a sore thumb.

You can see our projector hanging down from the ceiling. We have cable, DVD, VCR, DDR, CD, VHS, whatever else hubs has hooked up. . . like video games, etc. It's his toy. He designed it, and installed it and the Boise surround sound speakers himself. He's extremely talented, technical and electrically gifted. I am one blessed wife!

We have a leather couch in the middle of the room along with a matching arm chair and ottoman. Behind this couch is. . .

a pool table. You can once again see the projector mounted from the ceiling.

Pool table, pub table, cue rack. We can have a lot going on at the same time here in this "Man Cave!" And to finish up our tour today. . .

a slot machine!!! For fun. It only takes tokens, not quarters. Too bad. Maybe I could have taken in some cash to help off-set the cost of finishing this basement! Now you can see the other side of the stairwell. We've made a complete circle.

I still want to show you the bathroom and what I added to the "water heater closet." Perhaps, next time.

Oh, yes, the refrigerator IS certainly stocked with lots of Beer!

Blessings. . . until next time,
