Well, since this area is where I do most of my arcade restorations and repairs, I figured I would start a thread in the restoration section on my newest project, Operation: Arcade Shop Facelift. I've been working in a cramped, cluttered, poorly lit space for far too long. I'm tired of losing things, tripping over things, breaking things and just tired of the general ugliness of a space that I just stopped keeping clean after a while. This thread will help keep me honest and hopefully help keep on task by posting weekly progress reports with pics. I am only about 15% of the way into it, but man, it already feels liberating. I have pics of one of the areas that I've yet to clean and renovate, and a pic of an area that has been cleaned, partially painted and in progress.
Mess/Suck Space:
Yes/ Fuck Yeah Space:
Note the blandness of the brown pegboard, the mismatched shelf brackets, the dirty benchtop, etc, etc, etc. in the first pic, and the bright, clean organized look of the second. I am going with a hwy construction zone theme for this area. I've already got my caution tape and will be painting the bench tops black. And yes, that is Pacman Yellow on the pegboard. I think it looks hot, and is a dead ringer for safety yellow.
