Fathers Day Gaming / Dressing Room


Happy belated Fathers day! I was lucky enough to spend this one with 3 generations of Dads and lots of food & wine :). Now that I'm back to work the Dad of this household has been full time. 

He hasn't even gotten a chance to hook up his x-box in the new house so he deserved something special. The spare room in our house had kind of turned into a sewing room.. kind of... for the most part it was a junk room..

So after some new floors, paint, doors and pulling together some of his favorite stuff around the house - he has his own x-box dressing room. We both win with this one because we like our own space getting ready in the morning and the sound of his x-box games make me twitch lol.

Before
After

I am not a photographer, I repeat.. I am not a photographer.




The storage ottoman was a must for all of the gaming paraphernalia (Headsets, controllers, remotes etc)..

 

Although if we had more space I might have gotten something like this..



As a budget summary with new doors and floors aside..

We have had his recliner and TV in storage - so happy to see them work for this and NOT be in the living room :).

The paint color was from the oops section in Wal Mart (always has the best selection for around $10)..

The curtains were a single panel from our first apartment that I cut and hemmed into two and I got some new pillow cases from the dollar store ($2 a pop).. Another almost free room!
 
 
 
 
Maybe someday in another world with more boys we can have a room like this in the house. I'd have to take up gaming myself in order for us to make it lol.
 
Happy Fathers Day!
