leaning towards the stickman design mainly because the background is black.

Yeah, that one really stands out for me, too.

No matter what design we pick, the cabinet will be painted. Just not sure on the color, as that will depend on what design we pick. All the colors in my mockups can be changed ...

They're all cool, but I like #2 and #3.

It looks great!

I have started the brainstorming stage of finishing my own basement, which at this point, is a blank canvas. It is kind of overwhelming, I am DIY-ing most of it. I am not really putting any aggressive timetable on it. I have been setting up "goals" that are fairly conservative (with many, many sub-goals)... for example, I want my design completed by the New Year... Along with having researched everything I can about framing so that I can immediately start framing through the rest of the winter.

Things are still slowly coming along! We've framed a bunch of our posters, and now we're starting to hang them. Here are a few examples.

Stairwell leading to the basement:



This is a small section of a massive wall that will end up having about six or seven framed posters on it in total:


A little bit to the right of the PJ20 posters is our Wrigley flag:


We plan on professionally framing our Wrigley poster (Cracker Jack) and hang it to the left of the flag. To the right of the flag will be the dart board cabinet, which I still have to finish up. All the pieces are cut, I just have to sand it, paint it and assemble it.

Not everything in the basement will be strictly PJ-related. In addition to the Tres Mts. poster on the wall down the staircase, we have these posters hanging up next to our record player:




Still more to do, but I feel we're making a lot of good progress!

So excited that we're beautifying our basement with so many cool posters I can't wait until we have them all up!
