    My new place has an extra lounge/dining room that I'm not too sure what I want to do with yet. I already have a TV/sitting room. It's a bit too small for a pool table or for table tennis. Any suggestions what I can do with it?

      replace windows with bars and use it as a room for the kids (make sure you give them running water)

          Reminds me of my own model railroad, I wonder where I left it. Too bad I don't have room for it anymore :( Can't I borrow some of that lounge space?

          WM. What about weapons of mass-construction?

            Pinball? Arcade Machine? Massive Scalextric track - my preferred option.

              Model railroads are cool! I've never had enough indoor space to fit one though, and now I don't really have the free time for one either.

                  Games room / DVD room with good speakers. Paint the walls black and have low level lighting to provide a larger space than seems possible.

                                        My new place has an extra lounge/dining room that I'm not too sure what I want to do with yet. I already have a TV/sitting room. It's a bit too small for a pool table or for table tennis. Any suggestions what I can do with it?

                                        Cheers, Simon > company:: Broken Keyboards Software > blog:: brokenkeyboards > skype :: SimonMStewart > CV :: PDF
