Check out the pictures here: Games moving in and Game cabinets

They still aren’t plugged in yet. I am waiting on some new rope light hooks that I ordered on ebay to show up, then I will rehang all of my lighting. I want to see how the new wall color effects the lighting before I decide what accent colors and pattern I want to do for the wall. I also need to decide how many flyers I want to hang back up. I don’t like too much clutter in the decorations.

The first thing I had to do was to move all the games out of the arcade. Even though I don’t have a ton of games, this many games still take up a lot of space. I moved all of them from the arcade except the Monaco GP cockpit.

No using the rest of the basement until I finish!

I broke several rope light clips taking the rope lighting down, so I need to buy some new ones. At least I can buy more to reduce the sagging in the lights.

I then taped off and trimed out the room in the dark grey color I chose for the project. I really hate this part. At this point, I started listening to the NCAA Men’s Basketball finals on the TV in the next room. Good thing the game wasn’t very good so I didn’t miss anything by painting.

Finally, I did the fun part. I like to roll paint on walls. Doesn’t take much to really make an impact!

My next step is to move the games back in, then determine where to hang some of the flyer artwork. I also plan to move the high score board into the gameroom, over the Monaco GP if I have the space. I also am considering painting the ceiling but I want to make sure it wouldn’t look bad. More to come.
