Building the war room of my dreams
And we have a table
Table plans
Using T-beams did the trick, as expected to be honest.
Several things need to be done :
- fix the tabletops to the frame
- fix the frame to the Kallax, to ensure it doesn’t move
- move the table a few centimeters to the perfect spot in the center of the room
- prime & paint the wood (probably black or dark brown as that’s what the Kallax units are)
So it’s not quite done, but the most important bits are.
I must admit that I am quite pleased with the result.
It isn’t as perfectly square as it could be, but then I’m no carpenter and this is my first big 1:1 scale terrain project.
Planning ahead
With the table (almost) done I can focus on the rest of the warroom.
In no particular order
- the sliding doors for the storage space need to look better
The previous owners of the house had used wallpaper to cover them. It looked ok from a distance, but it doesn’t quite match the theme of the room now. - replace curtains
Left by the previous owners these things do their job, but I need something a little less red and flowery - add airbrush/hobby tables & storage
I am waiting to finish the rest of my house before moving everything from my previous apartment. The airbrush, paints, etc. are amongst this. - more thematic lights ?
This is an unknown. I had installed a basic light fixture but I am not sure if this will be good enough.
I have plans for lights underneath the table, but that’s for atmosphere. - Additional decoration. There’s a few posters in storage that could work, but maybe a few additional things? Time will tell.
So … not done yet.
And of course the table demands games … but like so many things that’s all in storage at the moment.
This is not the end. Things will improve and evolve.
Suggestions are welcome.
But with all this can you really have fighting in The War Room?
We have a strict “no fighting” policy in the war room.
