Merrimack Rec Room.jpg
Here is my best re-creation of the room. Obviously, I couldn’t really get the exact items (there is one item that is identical—can you spot it?), and the room is much smaller, but I think it has the feel of the room I remember. I want to add more along the back wall. I’d definitely like a cuckoo clock in there, and I found a tutorial for miniature fishing floats. I’d also like to put a fireplace where the TV is. I have a resin brick fireplace (unpainted) that is designed so that the top can be cut down to exactly fit any room. It is quite thin (shallow) so won’t take up a lot of space. If I can cut it down properly, I’ll test it out and see what I think. I was considering making a “glass” enclosure out of clear styrene for the stair opening. My brother suggested going with a trap door, and I really like that idea, as I hate the thought of blocking the fireplace or TV. Am trying to come up with more “souvenirs” to add; they don’t have to be what my grandparents had, just things that suggest my homeowners are world travelers. Ideas welcome.
