I'm not looking at too much more time wise before I can say VOILA! This will be a life long project as you should know, but to briefly tell ya what I'm doing to say, "ok. I'm done" (then begins the ins and outs of little things), I'm putting up ceramic tiles on the back end of the wall, wood planks one side, combined with molding to further create the rustic feel I'm going for. The bathroom will be various shades of brown. The AC unit has to be installed (being I separated the house ventilation system from this room...it has it's own), then the furniture...VOILA! lol I'm buying an executive desk to go in here...changed my mind on the bar (because I don't drink more than I smoke); the bar will go in the adjacent room to this which is like a living room area. I'm buying a tower humidor, TV and a few leather chairs. I will SURELY let you guys see the finish project; hope you like it so far.
oh, I will be putting up wood, molding and make a beam look on the ceiling as well. All in due time...all in due time. Well, Until the next update *I promise will not be in another 2 years...lol. As you can see we aren't that far from the finish line, so, updates will come MUCH sooner in the next few months. Looking to get this wrapped up to the beginning stage of life long work this summer. Stay smokey my good people...any questions or comments welcomed. :cool::victorious::cowstogie:

It's pretty unconventional to paint porcelain but I decided to give it a whack. I'm doing the floors last (for obvious reasons), toilet, sink and walls are pretty much done. I'm adding the little details to everything, and then I'm doing the floors. At that point this bathroom will be out of service (as it is now) for a week or so to dry up and let things seal tight.

I don't plan on using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean these areas, not to mention, I would never try this in my 2 other (main traffic) bathrooms. This bathroom will hardly be used, and my main concern would be how the paint and sealant would hold up in the toilet sitting under the water. We can only see. The sink and toilet was sealed with a water resistant sealer, so I'm hoping for the best. I have performed scratch test before painting, and don't seem I will have much an issue with that. My main concern is water damage to the paint itself. I plan on cleaning with basic, soft house cleaners...which I also tested with the painted materials before committing to what you see. I can only hope for the best.Quote:

Thank you for your input btw. I appreciate your concern and advice.
Ahh, I get it. So worse case is still not that bad. You've got quite the project there so far. Must be getting anxious to be done with it.Quote:

I know it's been too damn long for anyone to care, but the cigar lounge is finally complete. It took so long for various reasons from, family life, to finding the time and resources needed to finish. Ultimately, I'm extremely happy with it and look forward to many years of smoking it up. Sometime late January I'll be shooting The Brooklyn Way cigar videos for youtube. If you're interested, check out The Brooklyn Way Cigar lounge on Facebook.

EDIT: Oops, just realized this thread was over 100 posts and scrolled back!
Thank you! Yes, everything I have done from start to finish are pretty much laid out in the pages, nothing much has changed, and the ventilation equipment is the same and working great. So far I had 4 people smoking in here at once and I didn't even have to utilized the 2 Rabbits I have.Quote:
