What a super looking room, laid out excellent. It looks like a place that I could get real comfrotable in! Well done!

I like that idea with the thatched ceiling/roof. You just planted some ideas in my hesd. Thanks!

beautiful!!!

The wall to the right will have a plasma TV hung there. The holes in the wall to the left are for the surround system. Wired and ready to go. Just a little short on funds currently. Everything was designed by my wife. Room size is 27'x35'. Will post more pictures and details latter. I am leaving in 2 hours for Namibia.
Thanks to Kathy for posting the pictures.

OOPs, sorry! Much thanks to Widowmaker for posting the pictures.

Have a great trip! And most of all, a safe journey, and have fun.

Dr. C, Kathi got the whole thing going!

Wow, that is impressive!

I thought about doing the grass ceiling/wood beam thing and didn't know if I could pull it off but that looks awesome.

The zebra/tusk pedestal is an incredible idea as well. I've never seen anything like that.

Thanks for posting.

Dr. C, what is the ceiling height?

Kyler

Kyler, The walls are 11', the center ceiling height is 20'.

Very cool TR..love it.

Dr C looks great!

The trophies and the setting are just perfect. the ceiling is totally, dare I say... "over the top.." Really quite a beautiful Idea. Well done, and congratulations.

What a great room. Completely different from anything that I have seen.

Wow! Nice and spacious. I think I will have to petition the town to sell me some of the greenspace behind my house to accommodate something like this! Love the fireplace!

Dr. C,

VERY, VERY neat and tasteful looking room. -TONY

Beautiful room!! The scale is very nice. Give some details on the ceiling. Is it made using simple grass mats or reed/bamboo window blinds? Or is it something more complicated? It's tough to tell from the photo's, but I bet we'll be surprised at home simply it was constructed using something we see everyday. I have the feeling someone was very ingenious and resourceful to get that look. I'm dying to know!

Very tastefully done. I only hope to have a room similar someday.

Defitely one Classy looking trophy room, but ther seems to be a lot of unused wallspace. jj

Thanks for all the kind comments. Again all my wifes design. The ceiling is thatch material with eucaplyptus poles. My wife acquired the material from a company in Florida that sells this material primarily to hotels and resorts.
Yes there is plenty of unused wall space. That means many more trips to Africa.
I just walked in the door returning from Namibia, where I acquired a few more for the wall.
Because my wife designed every detail of the room, I have stayed with her request that this room be only African trophies.
The North American mounts are in the lower level of the house.

Dr.C, lets see the North American trophies.

Because, I am a complete computer illiterate, I will have to ask once again for Widowmakers help. When my wife recovers from our Namibia trip I will see if she can send the pictures.
Hopefully tomorrow.

very nice

Dr C,

Here are your North American Trophies. I started a new topic, desided to put them here:

Here's a Black bear and a few Whitetail Deer - - -

north american trophies are very good others fail to impress

As a bow hunter I do not attempt to impress anyone. It would be senseless to try to impress anyone. My trophies are simply reminders for me of places and adventures I have had.

Bow or not, Dr. C, your trophies look great. The room looks really nice and I’m sure the heads bring back many good memories. I purposefully route my trips through my house to see the few I have, just because it brings back terrific memories. It’s like a 20 second hunting trip every time I see them.

In fact, I don't remember Shootaway posting any of his/her own.... only commenting on everyone else’s'.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful room with us. You are a class act and have demonstrated it, intentional or not.
Thank you.
Gary

What a place to call your own. Very very nice.

Thank you Gary for the kind words.

Thats a very cool room! Well done.

When can I move in?

Dr.C
I'm impressed! African room is very well designed, and looks great.

You have some wonderful memories on the walls, and there is enough room for future dreams.

Congratulations and thanks for posting.

That is VERY nice and how I would like to it if I ever build a new house.

Bringing this back up to see how many, besides me, really like the thatch-style ceiling.

Nice room!

The thatch style was one of the first things I noticed. Pretty cool!
It also has to be one huge room to make a kudu, waterbuck and gemsbok look small.

Yep! It takes a large room to make a Kudu look small. Really love the ceiling. Very unique. I'm so jealous I can't stand it!
