The pool table was uncovered, brushed and racked.

A hat and coat rack was hung by the door.

And a few vintage WWII propaganda posters from 1943 I’ve been meaning to frame were framed and displayed.

It was during this time we decided the ugly bracing pole in the middle of the room… which was never supposed to be there but was deemed necessary when we noticed the top floor bounced when we walked on it during the original construction…. needed to be spruced up.

The (now lovely) wood walls and trimmed windows demanded it.
I expected to blog about the normal nightmare of measuring and cutting and cursing but things went remarkably well.

Maybe we’re finally getting the hang of it.
So…. the before.

And the after.

Please don’t ask why he put my porch barrels on the loveseat. I have no reasonable explanation for that.

I owned a large house once and wanted a pool table in the basement but there was a support beam right in the middle of the room. I’m glad you have more room.

We have the room, but husband still has it positioned too close to the windows for full extension. That’s going to be a hard and expensive lesson to learn.

The pork barrels on the couch? Easy explanation. The less seats available, the less people that want to “visit” and ruin things.

It looks good. Perhaps the most expensive free thing ever, but it looks like a fun place to hang out for a while. Maybe you can decorate the barrels as Mr & Mrs Claus. Good job boxing the pole.

Well, at least there was no cursing about not being able to measure correctly. And the place is looking quite comfy actually.

Sorry, but he hates that witch more than I do. As for decorating, I am forbidden to do any inside.

The important thing is you’ve got the pool table in there, even if space is a bit of an issue.
