Automotive Themed rooms

[Modelbuilder Mark]

A buddy sent me this the other day, and thought it was kind of cool for mancave, dealership etc.

Any other cool pictures of car related room layouts, furniture etc? Just curious.

I don't have any pictures, but my bedroom at home is all Ford themed. Ford Blue walls Signs hanging. Ford diecast and models on display. I'm working on making some curtain rods from a crankshaft and pistons.

I also built a lamp in high school shop class made to look like an old hurst shifter with a boot and everything. It broke when knocked off a desk though.

In a similar vein,my lady friend's one son is making lamps out of old small fire extinguishers.

I present to you the V8 Hotel in Stuttgart Germany, the ultimate car guy hotel.

on the TV show,Extreme Homes,they showed a converted gas staion.It was built before the era of 'modern' filling stations. The guy did a great job of converting the upstairs to living quarters. The ground level still looked like a garage.

I did a search,but couldn't find it. I have it on VHS tape. He had a 40's Chevy tow truck sitting in the bay. He had someone blow up a picture of the truck sitting there,and put it on the garage door. it looked like the door was open when it wasn't.

He used tool cabinets for vanities and storage. There was a neon Mobil flying horse ion the bedroom wall. A lot of polished diamond plate,but very tasteful.

I don't know if this would count or not,but this is my 'studio'. It's where I build models and draw and stuff like that.

I need to post some pics of my bedroom. There isn't a wall that isn't covered in NASCAR stuff.

Cool stuff guys. Would enjoy a stay at that hotel as well.

That is more of an automotive storage unit. But heck yea, I would say done right, it would be automotive themed. Such as this

and then maybe off to the side, the restrooms

Just somehow do not think the wife will ever go for it tho...

That Ford bed looks awesome, but I have a good feeling that it's not so fun if you roll over in the middle of the night and slam into a cold metal bed lip.

There is a restaurant/bar here in Cranberry called Quaker Steak and Lube (I think it might be part of a chain of eateries). The entire place is automotive themed right down to the gas pump nozzle door handles on the front door. There are cars and motorcycles either hanging from the ceiling or mounted on platforms (I think the bodies are only the shells). There are wheels, hubcaps, headlights, taillights, steering wheels, etc., decorating the walls. Even the menu has automotive titled dishes to serve. It's the only place I've found around this area that will serve you a rare burger if you want it that way. It's a fun place with lots to look at while you're waiting for your food.

There are cars in one form or another in every room in my house. And I do mean every room! Does that count?

You are correct. It is a chain. I've eaten at one and our table was actually under a real car on a car lift! Super cool place.

I'm getting ready to remodel my bathroom, and we were considering an automotive theme...... that tool box sink just might make it into my remodel. And the Mrs. likes it as well,......

[Modelbuilder Mark]

I will have to check out the closes Quaker Steak!

Michael, if you do up that room, you will have to post some pics.
