I am contemplating using an oak bead board 1/3 way up from the floor in my basement trophy room. It consists of 3 large rooms. Currently have pool table, bar and all that stuff. I'll use painted drywall the rest of the way. Anyone got pics of anything like that. I would also like some flooring ideas. Currently carpet and I don't care for carpet in the basement.

While it is not a basement trophy room, check out what Will did:

Scroll down and you will see some pics of my basement. As for flooring, I have carpet and travertine tile. If I had it to over again, I would have gone with some type of wood flooring. Also, I would put plywood behind the sheetrock. Trying to center on studs is problematic.

I stripped my concrete floor down and stained it a oarnge/red type color. It kind of has a phoh finish look to it. Reminds me of the sands of the Khalhari.


I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.

Jorge, Nice pics and I really dig the bead board. When I had my house built i had 2x12 nailers placed between all the wall studs for trophy placement. Moose & elk are heavy!! Thanks for the replies fellas getting some great ideas!! 163bc
