Basement Retro?

Remember basements? Remember all the great shows that you and your buddies watched? Being able to play the music a little louder in the basement before your parents yelled out the obligatory "Turn that down". They were good times, weren't they? Missing those times a little? Go retro.
Yes, retro, think about it, some of your best times were playing around in the basement with your friends. It was "your" space and normally you were pretty much left alone by your parents as long as it didn't get too rowdy. Don't have a basement? That's ok; any space will do the trick. Of course, if you have a whole room available you could always get some really cool shag carpet. Ok, well, maybe not, but with a little imagination you can once again have "your" space.
If the space is limited and there is no room for a couch, and you just don't think you can still handle sitting in a bean bag chair consider something along the lines of a pub table. They are small and usually stools are a great fit for the seating. Also, think about adding a neon clock or billiard light to bring back that feel of yesteryear. Another great item to help complete the look is a dartboard. There are many styles available, some built into cabinets allowing you to close the doors until you are ready to play. However, since you have gotten older and your arm is not quite what it used to be, it is probably not a good idea to see if you can make your best friend blink by throwing darts in the wall around him like you did back in the day of your parent's basement.
