Wife's Scrapbooking Room Paves Way for Arcade Expansion
The main wall of our basement has been multi-tasking as my wife's scrapbooking area as well as my budding arcade habit... er uh hobby. She really wanted a space of her own - a retreat out of the main recreation space. It wasn't that she wanted to free up 35' of wall for my arcade - but that's exactly what has happened!
Here is a pic of the area of the basement in question before followed by pics of the storage closet we converted to her "Mom Cave."

And here's the Mom Cave money shot:
I did the majority of the work, but she did the wallpaper accent wall, painted trim (assisted by our 11y.o. daughter) and we tag-teamed the laminate flooring. I am excited for her space - and mine!
As the arcade takes shape, those pics will be posted separately.
