bathroom, invaded (fun with wall stickers)

Post by Herr Schatten »

Our apartment got pretty much destroyed by a burst pipe on the upper floor, which forced us to live in antother place for about half a year. Upon our return, we found (to our horror) that the workmen had removed the dry wall covering the ugly 70s tiles, and they had painted the tiles themselves black then. This looked rather ugly, because you could still make out the floral designs on some of the tiles underneath the paint. It was clear that we had to do something to cover them up.

This is the result.

The mirror is an original bezel from a Space Invaders cab, complete with playing instructions and stuff.

Add some black lighting and some black lit neon carpeting and you've got a world class bathroom complete with the cool Space Invaders visual theme going on. I used to patronize one arcade and both restrooms were decked out with black lighting and black lit neon carpeting...quite a trip when using the loo indeed.

Unfortunately, they don't.

ATM, I'm looking for a Space Invaders handheld or tabletop game (either LCD or lED) to place on the window sill. So people who like to take their time can play a bit, you know, instead of reading a magazine or something.

I got these on my apartments front door. It's funny because people that visit me for the first time instantly know where I live.
Edit: also, how about a thread for showing off shmupper-cribs?

That's awesome.

It also reminds me....there is a house, nearby, that has the Space Invader ships in the bricks. It's really weird, considering, it's in Hicksville, USA.

In a bathroom?

Not entirely sure that's wise.

That's a really good idea. I actually hadn't thought of that. I think I've got the black and white original Gameboy version of the game somewhere.

i have one of these (©TAITO) lying around here:

a little neglected but nothing a little spit&polish won't fix (neither broken nor scratched) - not sure if it still works though (it did the last time i tried/had batteries for it, so i don't see why it shouldn't)

as you know we are living in the same city, so just come around & pick it up for free :)
