Looks very promising so far... I'm sure your trophies will shine in their new environment!
Keep us posted...

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

bluefinA rich man is a guy who can afford a big house and hunt Africa.
A wealthy man is a guy who has a wife who allows him both.
Congrats and it looks like you'll have some really nice trophies to admire for a long time.

AndersWow! Great project. I have a plan to add a trophy room to my house next year, so I might follow this thread for a while.
My plans are not so big. Thinking appr. 20x30 feet with 12-14 feet walls.
Good luck and keep those photos comming!

BigUglyManGeez Bill, I'm almost 2100 miles away as the crow flies and never to set foot inside, but I'm anxious for it to get finished! I can't wait to see it in the end.

drewhenrytntGorgeous house!! A little suprised by the seemingly small gas fireplace. Was expecting a stone fireplace with a spit big enough to roast a whole Giraffe

airgun1Wow! That is a beautiful place you guys built. Does the wife hunt with you much? My house isn't centered around my trophy room, my daughters added on bedroom, which I did design and build, but my life is surely centered around it! My little piece of paradise. Let me congratulate and compliment you again on a beautiful dream there. As a friend down in Georgia used to say...."A Vision is Worth 1,000 Realities". Your vision looks like a reality to me though!

AndersIt turned out really great!
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful for me as I'm planning a trophy room as an addition to the house I own today.

I will check out your lighting solution, as this is a very important feature of the room.

How wide is the lower muley on the pedestal?
