Finally after 2 years of working during my free time I have completed my basement. Thought you all might like this rug that I purchased from Home Depot.

This area is going to be set up as a soda fountain, I will be purchasing a booth to go in this area. The solid white door leads to my underground two car garage that will be turned into my soda can collection room as time permits.

This area is where the soda fountain will be or possibly a large cooler. I haven't decided yet.

Finally this is part of the large 32 x 12 room that will house video games and my sons train layout.
Sorry about the spots in the pictures it seems my camera lens must have been dirty.

Looks good, you should be proud of the work you done. I know it will be even better when filled with a bunch of goodies.

sounds and looks like it's coming along nicely... Lots of room that I'm sure you could fill up with machines, games, and good stuff like that!
Keep us updated on the progress at it fills up.
I like the underground garage concept.. .I too want that someday, but will have a large window or glass wall so I can have my car and gas pumps as part of my overall collection display...

Looks great Jerry , Sad thing is you will need more room
in few months, that garage may be the next place
you be turning into a show room.

Very nice Jerry! That gives me some ideas and inspiration for my currently unfinished basement. I really like that doormat and the red & white tile is very cool.
Did you go with vinyl tile or Congoleum (CVT) style tile?

Looks great Lance!
It's always nice to have an room/area dedicated to a hobby...
Once you get things in there and organized somewhat, be sure to include photos in the SMC Photo Gallery!

Looks nice. 
Can't wait to see it filled.
You said that you have to purchase a booth, but do you already have everything else (fountain, games, etc.)?

The door rug was purchased off the shelf at my local Home Depot store.

I actually have to purchase everything, the problem is my main collection is old soda cans (pre zip code cans) and most of my hobby money goes to these. But I think if I think if I take it slow my wife will not mind some new larger additions.

I actually used Armstrong Commercial Vinyl composition tiles available from Home Depot. The 2 I used were special order and I had to wait several months for them to come in but I think it was worth it. I went with the commercial grade because they have outstanding wear and the color goes all the way through so the color will stay uniform through the years.

I will get a picture of the garage as soon as I clean it up all of the construction debris is piled in it.
This garage is actuall right underneath another 2 car garage so the ceiling of the underground garage is the floor of the upper garage. This was the feature that convinced me to purchase this house.
Thanks all for the compliments!

Next house for sure I gotta get me one of those tuck under garages...
Can't wait to see it... I met a guy a few years back that had a 3 car on the uppper and the lower had room for 6 show cars... he had it filled with some great classic cars, including a zz top replica car like in the zz top videos.
