This will be my 3rd post to SD I love the ideas I see posted and like to share my own. I have been working on setting up my house with a little casino “flair” type of thing. I’ve already posted photos of the tile flooring project ( link ) and poker / gaming tables ( link ) this time around I am showing off a little round corner bar I picked up at the goodwill (well actually in the ally behind the goodwill at about 3 AM) I call it my “tweeker bar” -notice glass top, all my Hipster friends have tiki bars so I decided to go a little more white-trash and give my casino patrons a nice clean glass-top to do a refreshing line or two off of. (joke) along with the bar re-paint and glass tile work I got lucky in an OfficeMax dumpster and found 2 thrown out desk chairs that the backs broke off of. I reupholstered them will skull canvas and made a neat set of barstools. My den (poker-room) ceiling I covered in free AOL CD’s to give it that gaudy “mirrored” look and A large brass hanging light over the poker table that I am cutting out card suit shapes out of to reflect up onto the ceiling. Last but not least, one of my first and favorite jobs is my “captains chair”. I was lucky enough to score this 50’s Belvedere barber chair from a local hairdresser that I helped move. The only thing I had to do was replace the broken hydraulic lift with a car jack I found at the auto yard and reupholster it to match the front room. Any ideas or tips are welcome. Photos behind the cut.
thanks for looking. ~jon~
