Just went under contract to buy a house that has this as my future gun room/man cave.
It's 14' wide by 17 or 18' deep. The entry to this room can be secured and hidden fairly eassly.
I'm thinking the wall on the left (plywood) gets the "gun wall" treatment to display / store 8 hand crafted muzzleloaders horizontally with nice display racks and spot lighting. The ARs, bolt guns and handguns will likely continue to live in the safe, or may get a display treatment.
The bench along the far wall will host a Dillon 550, a single stage press and a vice. The safe will likely go in the corner to the left. That wall will either get covered in slat wall stuff, cabinets or a combination.
I'm not sure about the right hand, cinder block, wall. That white bench will go and I'll build one with cabinets underneath and shelving (gun cases, bulk items, etc.) on the wall. that bench would be for staging range trips, maintenance, just general counter space.
Center of the room will get my desk for work, so this will be my home office as well. That will face the camera in this shot. Then, a couch, comfy chairs, end tables, etc. facing the camera for a TV on the wall behind the camera.
All will get painted some deep manly color. Adjustable spot lights and recessed lighting in the ceiling. I don't really want a 'drop ceiling', but I also don't want to pay for someone to put up sheet rock. So, not sure on the ceiling just yet.
OH....heat/air....this is an interior room, that block wall on the right is NOT an outside wall. So, I'm not sure what I'll about heat/air. It is bone dry as is, so no humidity concerns.
ANYWAY....Suggestions welcome!
