Hobby room

Post by flyboy_fx » Thu Nov 01, 2012 10:12 pm

Well, along with other things, working on my room is sucking time up too. It has been a long project, but finally taking shape.

Here's an 2 week old pic. Paint on the walls and shelves up!
I used to have nasty carpet... :evil: Glad it is GONE!!!

Love the paint job! Might have to duplicate that.

Can't wait to see the shelves filled !!

"Interesting" choice for the walls, Flyboy.

I do like the shelves though, and would look great filled with some of your customs. 8)

The paint reminds me of Dazzle camouflage. Looks cool!

I personally think he mixed the two. Sports colors outlined in a naval pattern strategy. lol The best of both worlds you could say. :mrgreen: Most certainly a terrific idea for a any man cave.

That's a really cool camo and the shelves are perfect. I might have to adapt this when I finally get my spare room back.

That's a very striking (but well painted) room! Should make for a very nice display space. Like the others, I await completed pics. Do you have the room solely as a "hobby" room or is it also function as your bedroom as well?
