Default EF Room and Musuem

Hey Guys,

Have been working on plans to start converting my bonus room to an electric football room and musuem. It is 16' x 15' and will feature a corner workstation and library for painting figures and storage of my vast collection of football books and reference materials, displays of some of my collection of electric football gameboards, and an entertainment center for watching football and viewing my collection of football movies and NFL films videos. I am starting this thread to keep up with the progress. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and comments.

Thanks

Default Suggestion

I would mount some of the boards on the wall, that would look sweet.

Do a nice around the room wallpaper type border but use your kicking cards. A couple of sets could make it all the way around the room.
I love the plans!

P.S. I watch Family Guy too and my brains not rotted anymore than Ravenna Al's.

Nice plans....I think we all want to have a room of some kind for our EFL. You have high ceillings so you could use more wall space for the show stuff and tables for 'active' playing.
Keep in mind the space when we come over for some game action, make some allowances for that too...

I thank you for opening up my eyes for some plans of my own....

BTW, that closet looks too full

Default Mancave!

Ah! Every man needs a mancave! From my experience the most important part of the room, other than the football stuff, is the lighting. You need lots of it, and if you have stuff on the walls, you need lighting that gets to it. Track lighting is perfect. Don't rely on just lamps or it won't be bright enough, from my experience.
