motorhead Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So my oldest son Kyle (4th generation Skins fan) got laid off from Yellow Book. After 2 weeks he got bored so he says “Dad what do you think if Jed (youngest son. Also 4th generation Skins fan) and I turn the “ Room above The Garage ” into a “Skins room” I say (Well you know darn well what I said”). I had a lot of stuff left over from the Kitchen remodeling project (another thread/story). Kyle wants to build a new bar from the left over cabinets and trim. I was like “well I’ve got have got to see this”. I mean he did help me remodel the kitchen but now he thinks he can build anything without the old man? Guess what? So far so good. Take a look. Me on left Kyle on right. From left Kyle Gibbs and me. Gibbs and Jed Pool table being use as a bar. My Mom painted this picture. This is a 1972 pinball machine.Still works. Got me a fathead Pearl drums that I beat on sometimes. My son Jed is getting pretty good with. No damn it that is not a greenbay "G" :mad: Heading to Home Depot tonight for some Redskins colors.I am thinking about Redskins helmet color scheme for walls. What do you guys and girls think?

#98QBKiller Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think that Keystone Light doesn't give me that bitter beer face Seriously, that room has a hell of a lot of potential to be an all-out 'skins room. I'd leave the pinball machine, the drums and of course the pool table in there with it. Keep it a man cave, but make it a Redskins man cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorhead Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Looks good Motorhead. Wish I had a room like that... Thanks Mark! Work in progress. I got a Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-40S4100 40-Inch 1080p LCD TV yesterday but I got the wrong wall mount.:mad: I am going to mount on this wall. I got the fathead back up.Move the pool table. Do you think I should paint the trim around door white? After I get a frame for this jersey where should I hang? I don't want to cover up to much of the pretty walls. Do you I should hang these three pics in the Redskins Room? What to buy next? Bar stools,felt for pool table,new Skins light for the pool table? My boys say Surround sound.

MattFancy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i think i would paint the door frame white so it looks like the rest of the room. i think i would hang the cooley jersey up behind the bar you have set up, which looks pretty sweet by the way. those pictures of moss, portis, and taylor are pretty cool and have to stay in the room! looks real good! and you gotta get surround sound for the games!
