Picks of what you're working with, and a rough description on what you're looking to do.
That will start the idea bank flowing to get you into sensory overload in no time.

Are we working with a basement, garage, shed, barn?

Posting pics of your current condition first is a good place to start. Guys around here have excellent perception and ideas to help you in the right direction.

1) Make a Floor plan. Measure the space and areas you've got.

2) List your wants; Bar (wet?), Theater, Poker Table, Bathroom, Pool Table, Pinball, Air Hockey, Table Tennis, Play Area, Exercise Area, etc.

3) List your needs. Basically, prioritizing your wants.

4) Get rough measurements of your wants. For Example; Pinball Machine - 6ft x 2ft, Poker Table - 8ft x5ft, Table Tennis - 9ft x 5ft, etc.

5) Plug your wants into your floor plan. Rearrange as needed.

Great List HB! I will start doing the same with my small (and "sad") space. LOL

Thanks for the help!
