This room was the first thing planned before I built my house. Ive been wanting something like this for quite a while. We only finished the house about a year and a half ago, so it still has that "new car feeling". I cant help but smile every time I walk into it! |

I'll be watching your progress if you choose to post some finished pics SERVED_USMC. I have an unfinished 22x22' vault room in my own house and am looking for setup/decorating ideas. Looks like your room is going to be killer.

I went with TrafficMaster Allure Vinyl flooring for my gun room. It looks like wood or stone, snaps or glues together, requires no prep on the floor, and you could remove it quickly if you ever wanted to change it out. Water proof/water resistant depending on which type as well. |

Wall display Yep, I know exactly what you describe. If you want something that is a little more technical in looks, then perhaps look at wire grids... it's cheaper than slat wall. If you like the slat style, then look at slatgrid, also cheaper, more tactical looking I went with the gallow route myself, so far so good. |
