ok guys here it is . we are moving to new oxford pa ,to a bigger house . i want him to build the kids a new play center in the play room .
take a look http://www.birthblessed.com/home/castlemain.htm
these are bed but i have it all layed out for a play center with a play for our 6 year old to bowl a little too . i have a whole room empty . i want to turn it into a pure bowling room . i am gonna have my dad cut old pins in half and nail them on the wall . i found a place that i can get an old pin deck for a place to show off all his bowling sh*t or place his spinner . the part i am having trouble with is the rest of the room . so here it is !!!if you could have your own bowling only room what would you put in it . my mom and i are doing this for him so any ideas will help out very much . think outside the box , i do all the time . my 6yr sleeps on the top of a play house my 3 yr sleeps in a castle . i am telling you my house turned upside down when we had kids. now i have this big kid i want to do something for. he deserves it he works 60hrs a week, i want him to have his own little world just like the kids do with there castle play room , with ski ball, bowling , ballpit and all the other things i have thought up .
someone help me i want him to have his own world and i cant think of what to do for him i thought of taking some old ball and cutting them in half to put in with the pins . for that matter he has a tattoo on his shoulder of a mean looking ball with flames . i have a very talented brother that can draw anything with me right behind him i can put that ball with a set of running pins on it . (drawing is our strong point)

my ? is what would u choose in your all bowling room
the room is 14 feet by 12 feet
ok everyone lets have your best ideas . kids i am sure you guys can think up lots mine do daily thats why i have a circus for a house now . so think of some good stuff for me .

thanks

the poster idea i love never thought of that . the light i already i got in the works putting the spinner on a pin deck on top of a cabinet . so that covers that . i could use a holed peg board and cut it in half and place a regular peg board beside that for specs and stuff . no one tell him but his mother in law ( my mom ) is looking at a drilling machine at one of the lanes down there that just got a new one and need to unload the old one . its a suprise though so shhhhh no telling . we have a ball rack for him made out of 2x4s he made it himself . should i put a chair and tube in there for bowling sundays . what if i paint a bowling time line on the wall would that be cool for a bowling freak . i need to make up some kind of neat shelving something using bowling stuff . i think i could take a pin deck apart to use the wood . make them look neat . should i put a positional light on the work area . i know i need plastic for behind the spinner . come on i need the funkiest idea u all got i can hang the posters on either side of the shelf that i want to put up . so lets hear what else you guys got .
thanks a bunch

Posters and/or pictures of their favorite bowlers. That's what I have a lot of. I too have some pins cut in half and hung on the wall. A friend of mine who also has a bowling room made himself a bar out of an old wood lane. He got the section with the arrows.

ALONG ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM, MAKE A SMALL BOWLING LANE! Haha, could be used, or just be cool to look at.

Table made out of a pin deck.
Seating made of the old wooden bowling lane benches.
Framed articles/ads from the "heyday" of bowling.

I'm waiting for my 19 year old to move out myself. I have his room slated for a bowling office for me. Spinner and work table, ball racks (2), desk and computer, book cases and display cases for the golden days of bowling.

I have several vintage barbies and kens, and a bowling lane just their size. I have team uniforms for the girls (extra bowling barbie outfits), so I'm going to make a diorama of gals bowling night.

If I could find a bowling neon sign, that would make it. Several of my bowling balls that have been retired with honor will go on display in this room. I already have top treatments made out of a bowling fabric for the windows, and I've always wanted a tacky bowling pin lamp - I figure I'll cover the shade in more of the bowling fabric.

I'm also going to set up a wall with a big piece of fabric that I can pin the patches and pins on as they come in. Right now I have them in a big manila envelope - it would be cool to display them.

I hope this gives you some more ideas - I can't wait for my room. Be sure and keep us posted on how yours is coming along!!!

Maybe if he has a 300 ring, a display case for it? Like a plastic/glass box on the wall right when you walk in.

How about a bowling pin lamp/light..? My grandfather made one for me when I was a kid. He drilled a hole through the pin for the wiring and bulb fixture. Then made a square base and put a lampshade on top. I still have it, although the pin has a crack in the plastic casing now. =:^D
