Wild Rumpus Room

Here's the concrete floor drying in the rumpus room. We'd considered having a polished concrete floor in here but decided that it would be too cold, particularly as the far wall is a retaining wall with an earth bank behind it. We're going to have the floor laid with a cosy wool carpet like the rest of the house instead.



The home cinema system will project onto the far wall on the left hand side whilst my desk and sewing table will be placed on the right. It's going to be a great space for projects and family time - so much more useful than the garage ever was.

We've finally decided on a colour for the beam too. My first choice would have been to leave it in its natural state but rustiness dictated against that. My second choice was to have it black like a lock gate but I was overruled. My third choice was fire engine red but we couldn't find the right colour in the swatches.

So eventually we've settled on pea green - the second shade from the bottom on this colour testing plank.
