Trophy Room Pictures

Very well done!

We moved into the place down here on the San Gabriel over Christmas and New Years and started renovating the Carriage house in the spring. Took out several walls, new windows, hardwood flooring, and a bar, and it is now the Trophy Room/ Guest House/ Gentlemen's Club. Didn't want to pack it with critters, but did want them to be the centerpiece of the décor. Anyway, I like it. Hopefully, the photos will load.

A guy could get real comfortable in that room

Very, very nice!!!! Well done!

One question though, since it is also a "gentlemen's club"....where's the brass pole????? (must be a definition thing! )

Must be an "under 21" gentleman's club. Great room and thanks for the posting.

Lol - jeez guys. Think old single malts and vintage ports, single cellar cognacs, batch bourbon, and pints of bitter (you won't find a light beer or lap dancer within thirty miles!)

It looks as if a lot of the furnishings were actually imported from England! An absolutely gorgeous room!

Outstanding !
Compared to yours and CAustin's and a couple others here, my hideout looks as if a typhoon just recently passed through it.

Your place looks like a real comfortable room to ride out a storm. Wish I was there for the pizza!

Hope your gorgeous trophy room/ guest house is on high enough ground to ride out the floods in your area!

I thought I smelled some pepperoni a few minutes ago!!!

Watching the river closely! Still in it's banks and the front is through, so now just cold drizzle. With a little luck we'll be ok. Thanks.

Thanks Red Leg,

Fortunately my excellent wife is of Swiss decent and therefore does not put up with me cluttering the rest of our hut with my treasures and tools (my "junk pile" in her words).
My basement ("The Safari Bar") is my own (that's why it's a pig sty) and a dern fine place to weather out storms, nature's angry weather-made or angry man-made either one.
But it is the people who visit that make it what it is.
Therefore, if you ever skid sideways into Anchorage some year, I would be proud to pour you a cold one and listen to a story or two.

Regards,
Velo Dog

And you can always come to the sun as well. Austin isn't that far from Dallas and DSC. Would love your thoughts on a gun or two. Very best

Sounds like the ladies would be of one mind. The real selling point of this place was the potential above the carport. Not much dead fauna left in "her" space.

there are some really nice trophies here. Well done to all the hunters who took these magnificent animals
To the hunters
To the Guides
to this hunt....to past hunts and to future hunts

Thank you Sir,
And if we're going to talk about firearms, I may very well have to plan a stop over in your neighborhood one of these times.

If your ever in the Houston/Hempstead area give me a shout. I keep the beer pretty cold in the bar.

Deeply appreciate that - and we aren't far either. PM anytime you are headed this way.

PS: The red paper on the floor in pictures 2, 4, 5 & 7 is to keep the electricians from tracking in mud. The solar power array is being tied into the meter and main panel today. They have to get into the utility room to do it.
