little otish/ how hip is yur house???????/

Black & white tile floor, red wall (1) retro feeling furniture, backs up to the dining room with a 50s table, old tins that tie the red and blue together. decorated with concert posters, license plates, model cars. needs a few more pieces, but its fun. And it was Becky's idea, so I didn't have to talk her into it.

 

Here is the Guest bathroom that we just finished. The shower is an old GTE aluminum telephone booth, we siliconed the edges of the panels on the inside and it doesn't leak. Put a fan in the roof for the moisture then vented it to the outside.







We also have a condom machine and 2 Kotex dispensers and a urinal, Maggies idea was to make it look like a 50's gas station bathroom only a lot cleaner.





Herb Martinez striped the toilet seat for us and I made the TP holder and the towel rack out of shit I had in the shop








The corner sink I found at the swap in L'ville at the Nats. The bottom has raised scroolwork and we airbrushed that to make it show up better.





I found a roll towel thingy at a swap meet.





This last Pic is something Maggie wanted to do for Halloween. The reaction of females when they go in there is Priceless.




The inside of the phone booth has murals painted on panels over the glass portions. The idea is that when you are in a phone booth and look out you don't see walls. You see the surrounding community. The same guy that did my garage door mural did the panels. He is an art teacher at Southern Door HS in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin.

Here is our latest addition, the keeper Monkey Speedway banner.

 

Larry, you had some more of those,did you sell them?

BB

 

Wow!

 

Yeah, I sold the other.

 

Not so much that the old man is whipped, ok, it is, but nothing like having a 7 and 4 year old running around to tear stuff like his model cars up! Once he has HIS home (aka- shop) built, he'll be trying to replicate all these great pics you guys have posted.

 

Zenor,

Cool digs man. Very nice.

My house, it's a 30's bungalow still decorated in "Nixon's resigning" brown paneling in the LR and DR. Other than that it's a work in progress.

Anybody wanna hang drywall?

 

Damn Bob. Does this mean if I came over and was taking a shower I would have to look at you and Maggie looking at me the entire time. LOL I'm refering to the pic that showed the painting of the two of you looking into the shower

Oh great...I'm King of the Useless Junk Collectors!

 

I have a little brick bungalow built in 1931, and I am redoing the basement as I have time. Black and white tiled floor, bar with soda fountain, and an assortment of car parts as decor. I need the get them out of my living room...

Does a Edelbrock TR1 tunnel ram setup go with the curtains?

My dream has ALWAYS been to live in a warehouse type enviroment like ScaryLarry and ModernBeat in TX. One day....one day.....

 

Howdy pardner. My place in the high desert.

 

Our mid century modern. The exterior is a pretty tame brick house built in '59. Nothing fancy like the Zenor Pad!

 

thats kick ass!!!

 

My house has a '50's theme. 1850's.

 

Wow, you have a really nice place buzzard! Reminds me of my place in CA before I had kids

 

Damn! This all makes my little dining room look like a dump.






Still working on the tile floor and the 50's dining table. Some day when I grow up, I'll have a really cool house like you guys.
