I started this out as a roll call thread. However, I am typing out so much about the dungeon we have in progress that I'm going to make it a topic all on it's own.
The big news here is that the dungeon is coming along beautifully. Please remember that we started with an unfinished basement. We now have five, fully functional play stations.
Our support beams were just the right distance apart to run chains from ceiling to floor for a (bottom/sub) standing, arms stretched out play spot. A great set up for those 6 ft plus men.
A St Andrews cross that used to be (believe it or not) a flower bed. The transformation that clip did to this thing is spectacular. The wood has been filled, sanded, and varnished to a thing of beauty.
A spanking bench. Can be used for simple impact play or electrical play.
A massage table. Works for erotic massage, needles, medical, etc.
A table for fire and/or wax.
We also have a little's "quiet corner" and an aftercare/observation area. (I still need some chairs, etc for that part.) For those who don't really want to see others at play, we have a social area off to the side.
The cement floor now has carpeting. We stuck with just carpet padding for under the table where fire/open flame can be used. It still keeps the feet warm, which was a concern.
A pet peeve of Mine about some play spaces is a lack of anywhere to lay toys out for while playing. We have corrected that issue. We have put up boards that have been turned into racks for toys that have a loop on the handle. We also have two old end tables and a coffee table for those who brought their toys in a bag and want to set them up before play for their convenience. We are also putting in a place to hang those items that folks use to warm up after play or for being naked on the floor. I've heard so many submissives over the years that they have no where to keep their blanket/throw clean until it's time to use it. Well, we solved that problem, too.
Being his ever resourceful self, clip hit the thrift store and found some princess lace curtains that will be used for the area around the massage table so those who don't like seeing erotic massage or needle play don't have to see it. The other set will hang between the walk way entrance to separate the social area from the aftercare area. Predictable, but we're dying them black.
Most of the walls are just grey cement. There are a few places that (I can't imagine why) it's just unfinished drywall/board. We got some ridiculously cheap paint to fix that. Blue for the wall between the cross and the bench where a rack was put up to hang toys. Green for the little's corner. Red for one wall of the social area. The paint will be done this week.
Our cost on the project so far? Roughly a hundred bucks. I swear, I don't know how he does it but the carpet was free, the wood was free, the massage table free in exchange for some labor. We have paid full price for the hardware (chains, eyebolts, etc) and the supplies necessary to make the wood nice. Everything else has been thrift shop creativity. I do expect to spend a bit more before I am done. I want a mini fridge for the aftercare area, one folding table for snacks, and a few folding chairs.
OK, so why did I create this thread? Part of it, I admit, I am just so happy about what has been accomplished. (Don't worry, clip has received sixteen tons of praise.) The other part is, I want people to really see what can happen with some space and some imagination. Yes! You can do these things. It doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Sure, you'll put in some labor but isn't something you want worth working for?
