Ugh, really? We can't stand it!

If you cant get rid of it, I would paint it a nice dark red and play it up like it is a stage. But if you can get rid of it, tear it out and burn it.

Can I get a close up shot of that, thats just sounds like a stupid amount of work for something that is odd.

I'll try to get a closeup picture of what we have dubbed "the concrete monstrosity" sometime soon. Yeah, it LOOKS like it was a ton of work, we can't imagine why it's there. It looks like maybe there could have been shelving built in, but nobody who's ever come over has had any better hypothesis than that.

Have a couple of other decorations and stuff going up in the next couple days, and I haven't taken a photo of the games up close yet, so I'll update when I have some time.

As I say in the description, pulling down the scalloped crown molding would require ripping down that section of the ceiling, and we don't have replacement tiles, so until we want to replace the whole ceiling, that option is off the table.

Thanks for the additional compliments though dudes! Now I just need to rebuild my SNES and NES collections to make it a true retro paradise.
