My Panthers Den Complete!

[hmsmike]

Good timing:

Contact us: Do you have a Panthers mancave?

Not from the Sports Section, oddly enough. It's from the "Home and garden" editor.

UPDATE:

The editor emailed me back - they want a picture of me and the boys in front of the bar!

Awesome! :party:

Very cool mancave. Might I recommend painting the ceilings black? I think it would really complete the look!

You know I thought about that or at least finding black colored ceiling tiles. I don't know if that would be too much black though, but worth a look!

Maybe I should post my modest shrine... I got the helmet Fathead and a wall of memorabillia underneath it... Panthers curtains.. posters.. I haven't gotten around to painting the walls yet though, but I have a ton of stuff... Signed helmets, figures, old old stuff from way back in the day...

Very nice man. One day I will have a room dedicated to the Panthers for game watching like that.

Ok so I took a photo of the boys and me for the Charlotte Observer like the editor asked for...

I love my boys!

Man -- I have waited all day for somebody to ask me about those!

I just acquired those -- a good friend of mine does landscaping work for Maurice Morris - Seattle Seahawk RB. They are game used and autographed - even still has some tape on the left shoe where he has been taping it up due to the injury. The field must had a lot of sand it!!

He also does work for a well known Panther but I can't say!

The blue comes out very nice -- I was worried about that but I could see myself actually having a room that color now (even if I wasn't a fan).

I know when we were thinking of a design - we were having a hard time thinking colors were too bold (or dark) so we was thinking of a feather dusting faux finish but I had a hard time thinking that it would fit the "bar" mindset I was wanting, LOL!

How did you do the gray/white stripes, just tape?

Very cool, it never hurts to have some memorobilia from another teams players. I have a 5x6 plaque with a big piece of Michael Strahan's pro bowl jersey from a few years ago that is signed. Anyways do you work for Hendrick Motorsports or are you just a fan of their drivers?

Yup - Basically we penciled the silver stripe lines all the way around the room with a 3' level and then on the outside of those lines we laid down some 1" blue painters tape. Go and paint the black, sliver & blue and allow to dry after at least 2 coats. Then pull your tape and retape for the white stripes. Tip - Go with a dry brush doing 2 coats instead of wet brush one coat because you don't want the white to "bleed" through and be sure to peel off this tape carefully to prevent any peal ups!!

Hope that helps!!
