Wreck Room - picture heavy post

For Christmas, Amma and Baba, Anti and the girlies and with the clean up and set up done by our clan, we were able to build the boys an amazing hang-out spot.

While the walls need to be painted, the boys were each having parties over the holidays so that was low on the priporities.


BEFORE:







It was actually worse than this, but I think it had been cleaned up a bit before we thought to take pictures

AFTER:


This is as soon as you come in the door at the bottom of the stairs. The TV is now on a wall mount. The cabinet holds a DVD player (which I didn't even know we owned), DVDs, a VCR and movies and all the video game stuff


This is the Ping Pong table/Pool Table. Craig made the topper in two pieces and the boys have a detachable net and the paddles and balls


Dartboard area - love those movie style lens flares. LOL


The Bar - complete with more pop than we thought could be drank (we were wrong), snacks when visitors are coming, a candy machine and bar fridge. Tons of great Coke memorabilia - man we have collected a lot


Bar stools for watching the games, a basketball net for bugging those playing the games and the sign on the wall is for their visitors to sign and draw on. They have quite a selection of names on it now


Another shot of the dartboard area. Craig painted it red and it looks great

So there you go! Thanks to everyone who contributed in making this such a great place for the kids to hang out in.

Wow! It looks totally awesome. Hard to believe this is the same room. It was a wreck room, now it's a rec room??? The red and yellow sure do make a difference, really brightens the place up. Can't wait to see it. Don't know if Baba can teach you guys any tricks or not. He's getting skunked when he plays around the sharp shooters here.

Love to all

Craig showed us around the basement as you were doing the finishing up and we couldn't believe all the work that had been done. Didn't see the before pictures, so for sure alot of work was done! Boys will be enjoying it thoroughly as will any company that comes for a visit!

Great job on all the renos around the house you guys! Last project we saw was Kaeden's room and it looks GREAT and he seems very pleased with it.

BIG HUGS TO ALL!
