Trying to Convert Basement into Bar
Hi, I'm Patricia, and I'm 22 years old. My friends are in the 22-28 year old range.
I have an empty double garage under my apartment. My friends and I have no where really to hang out. So, we baught a pool table, a dartboard and a small bar so we could solve our problem. I wanted the "bar/billiard room" to sort of have a beach feel to it so I strung up some old x-mas lights across the ceiling and I baught a bunch of mirrors and beach posters for the walls. I want to get some neon signs and beer/liquor posters, lights, clocks, whatever, but I can't find any that aren't extremely expensive. Maybe thats just the way it is, but I thought surely someone on here had done this before and might have some tips on where I could get cheap stuff. We're getting ready to throw a birthday party for a friend and I want to decorate with maybe some raffia and what-not, but I don't want it to look extremely tacky. just a little tacky! Haha. Like a beach club or something. Any ideas on what I could do decoration wise inexpensively or beach party ideas, advice would be appreciated!!!

go to walmart or any other stores in your area that carry party decorations- they'll surely have some beachy themed items you can leave up all year long. also, ebay is the memorabilia collector's friend. browse around for a while and you'll be sure to find posters, clocks, signs, and all sorts of random crap on there for cheap. of course, i've found that the best way to decorate is to pace yourself and only add stuff that you really love. for example, my room is decorated kind of weirdly, but that's just because people keep giving me random crap for my birthday and for christmas and stuff. it's been an accumulated thing. so don't freak out if you don't have enough money all at once to buy all this stuff because if you mention that you REALLY want something to your friends or family members, they might get it for you for christmas or a birthday. that's a really random thing to tell somebody, but it's the truth. one time my dad's friends all pitched in and bought him a budweiser neon sign that had a red fender stratocaster-type guitar surrounded by neon lighting. if you keep checking ebay, you'll find that they have all sorts of things that nobody wants that will go perfectly in your room! good luck :)
