Reds Room?
Hello,My wife and I just recently bought a house and I made my office a Cincinnati Reds themed room. Do any of you guys have anything like this? I would like to get some ideas for mine. ![]() ![]() I am working on building some nice shelf's to hold my bubbleheads and signed baseballs. |

Re: Reds Room?
My office is my Reds room. I am slowly getting it situated and putting things where I want them to be. I'll post some pics later once I have it organized a little better.

Re: Reds Room?
If I lived closer to Cincinnati, I would look into this. Would be awesome in my man cave even though it is a smaller pool table.

Re: Reds Room?
I'm in the process of doing a Reds wall in the basement. I'm outlining a baseball diamond on one wall, and mounting small shelves at each position for signed baseballs. Some positions are pretty empty (1B, 2B), whereas LF is getting pretty crowded already.

Re: Reds Room?
I added this pub table and chairs in my living room for more people space during the playoffs.
What the heck, this is staying here all year round. Sorry for the not so good picture:

Re: Reds Room?
Here are some from our wedding (Cincinnati Reds themed), and a couple of our basement that I finished over the last couple of years. The Jersey replaced the sign in book at the reception. Everyone just autographed it.
*edit: found a couple other updated pictures.* Last edited by Calten; 09-24-2012 at 09:39 PM. |

Re: Reds Room?
Also, that pool table is SICK, and I would love to have it, but I think she would bury me down there....

A 100 bucks is a killer deal for this pub table. The cheapest I have seen online is $299. As stated on the pool table post, I am not affiliated with the seller, http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/fuo/3267327012.html

Re: Reds Room?
My mancave is currently a work in progress. I am trying to get it as close as i can as the one in the reds HOF. I have the astroturf carpet down, the bar in, and 3 stadium seats i bought off ebay from riverfront stadium. I dont know if i want to paint the drywall or put up the wood like the one at the HOF. My wife says im obsessed....i say im a fan....lol

Re: Reds Room?
Tell her you're not obsessed until you put a lock on the inside of the door so she can't come in!
How is that astroturf? I thought about doing it, but was concerned with the resale of the house... Drywall SUCKED. I will hire someone next time... |

Re: Reds Room?
When my wife and I bought our house 3 years ago, my only stipulation was that I get a room for myself and my collection. Most of my room is UNC sports based, as thats where I live and have access to most of my good stuff, but I do have a wall of Reds stuff-and wish I had more space for all my jerseys and bigger items. I tried to post pictures here, but am not very computer savvy and not having much luck.

Re: Reds Room?
My savings would take a hit if I lived near Cincinnati. I would have bought the pool table, Reds pub table and this:
