My new bowling office/trophy room
« on: September 19, 2004, 06:51:57 AM »
I am writing this from my long overdue, greatly anticipated bowling office!

As I spin around in my chair, I see...
my spinner and paraphernalia
Bill Taylor Ball Fitter (will be for sale soon)
posters of Bohn, Anthony, and Voss
A bottle of Hook again Compound
A 300 local women's assn. award.
My 1978 Las Vegas Invitational Team All Events Trophy
A box of "tenpins" collector cards - never opened
A display NABI check
honor score/city tournament/state association plaques
bud light bowling light (not neon )
A bookcase with ALL my bowling books and magazines
Video tapes
Window treatment of bowling fabric
Brunswick Custom-Matic ball measuring ball with all the thumb inserts
Bowling wallpaper border
A display case containing all kinds of funky, old bowling stuff, my 300 ring, my 800 ring, a Helen Duval commemorative AMF Wood pin, a JR Adult trophy bowling pin from before I was born, etc...
My NWWCBA banner denoting 3 titles
and, last, but not least,
my brunswick ball rack gotten from a local house when they remodeled, full (18 slots), with a bunch of empty bags sitting on top.

When the window treatment, crown molding, and border are actually installed, I'll post some pictures.

Oh - I've got a ton more stuff in boxes in the basement. Just have to figure out how to display it all. I'm jazzed!!!

Sounds like a sweet room! I have an extra room now also. May have to bring all my stuff in.

Sounds fantastic! My "office" has all my firefighting memorabilia....from my older "accountability tags", rescue knives, helmet shields to model engine and ladder trucks, and a Backdraft Poster (framed of course).

It is a way to keep memories alive, and relaxing area to spend a few moments in.

I'm eyeballing a couple of areas of the house that I would like to convert into trophy areas.  To have a complete room...wow.

Hey - I paid my dues.

I got the room because my 20 year old son finally moved out.
He's #3 of 4. The oldest is 32, youngest 16.
It's taken a LONG time to get an empty bedroom!!!

I just bought a 3100 sq. ft. 4 br home for my family of 6.  However, my oldest is 8; it's gonna be a while before I have an empty room.

Congrats, nonetheless.

must be nice to have enough to dedicate a whole room. I recently took my son (who is a talented bowler) to Bowling Museum Hall of Fame in St. Louis and got a certificate of my very first 300 game (back in 77 as 17 year old.) I hang it in my hallway along with plaques and awards my son, daughter and myself have been award. Its very nice indeed to reflect on the memories... Congrats! Yo da woman!
