Smoking Room Conversion

[Nature]

How's the room and new walk-in conversion coming along, @Nature ?

As the weather had warmed this spring, my need for an indoor smoking area diminished.
Also, since then, my need for a home office presented itself, so a little change of direction.
That doesn’t mean that it won’t be a working smoking office!
I can still install a TV (but why? I rarely watch).

Currently, still re-laying the wooden flooring to repair some water damage. It is an engineered strand bamboo. Essentially taking up a few rows at a time then relaying again while replacing damaged boards as I go. Fortunately, I have enough unused boards remaining from when I installed it. Honestly though, it would probably have been easier to just tear it all up and start from scratch. I was too cheap to buy all new flooring, but I’m paying for it in my labors.

I have plans to install a rustic weathered and Shou Sugi Ban wood plank accent wall. Once the floor is done, I will move my winedor, totes, and a mini-fridge into the room.

I figured now would be the time to get your smoking room squared away before winter hits.

Sounds like you're going to have a boss setup with a smoking office. I'd salute you if I was on the other end of a business video call with you.

I have no idea what Shou Sugi is, but it sounds cool.

It’s a wood treatment method by burning.
True shou sugi ban is charred. As used for decor, the degree can vary from a light burn to highlight grain, to a full on char. Used in Japanese construction as it is naturally insect, fire, and water resistant.

Did you do the charring, and is that your work and wall? Looks very very cool and I like the masculinity vibe from it.

I plan to do it myself. Not my work

I like the char idea but I prefer a lighter burn on the walls. You could also consider burning in a logo or something to mark the room as yours!

I plan on mixing the boards. Some charred, some with lighter burn for grain highlights, some weathered gray, and a few left natural.


I like the idea of a brand!

I've always thought that was a cool technique. I like the look of the mixed chars for a wall. I may have to copy you when I get my building

Dude, a branding would be friggin awesome. The Bum mascot was be pretty badass. Then maybe it could be the official Cigarbum lounge, open 24/7 to members. We'll have a fully stocked kitchen, room and board.. perfect setting for the Orgy.

If you can get here, the lounge will be open!
