The elaborate décor in the 12-seat, 19 x 20-foot theater takes things to a whole ’nother level. There are two prominent golden statues of the Egyptian gods Anubis and Horus that were purchased from a distributor of Middle Eastern statuary. The hieroglyphic panels are prefabricated fiberglass obtained from a haunted-house supply service for use in mummy scenes; Jim painted them beige and stained them with dark brown wash to give the proper color and effect.

It's finally here! We have been updating our basement for 8 weeks now and I'm so so so excited (and relieved) to share our rumpus room basement reveal. Since this was our first big project in the new house, it served as a great learning experience! Eventually I will share the cost breakdown and source
This week got a l'il emotional as I bid goodbye to my grandparent's home. Even though they both had passed a while back, my whole family was a bit attached to their place and it took some time to finally decide to let it go. For me, the hardest part about it was that it was a perfect time capsule complete with wood paneling, funky carpets and even rotary phones (which now reside in my home). It was like stepping into my childhood every time i went there: I played with my Mike Power: Atomic Man in this corner, wrote my first post college resume on that desk and more recently filmed the Brick Mantooth toy commerical here. The house was built in the mid 1960s and honestly I think they stopped decorating around 1972. They kept everything perfect so it was museum quality and it was also filled with weird "high tech" items like electric space heaters and intercoms in every room! Seriously, what kid wouldn't play with this for hours? It was like living in the Venture compound! This house will forever remind me of catalogs (my grandmother kept them for years, so yeah I got it from her), the Lawrence Welk show (which I hated then but now cannot get enough of) and Dean Martin records. I'm sorry to see it pass but I'm also taking all of those things with me, so it's never truly left has it? Speaking of "taking it with me" I did manage to inherit something, somehow my siblings, parents and even nephew didn't fight me from getting what was truly mine. Yes, this magnificent belt massage device works and it's all mine! Those fools just let me have it. Thanks for reading, have a terrific weekend!

Yes, the bar is orange vinyl, the walls are wood paneling, and the carpet is shag. All are authentic. I can only imagine the parties that have occurred in the thirty-five or so years since this basement was "finished". Well, I remember those that have occurred since I bought the house eight years ago, but I think you know what I mean...
