Let’s start another movement to: Bring back the basement shuffleboard!

by pam kueber on October 14, 2008

With all the recent talk of shuffleboards, I did a little nosing around, and it turns out that you can still get a vinyl tile shuffleboard from Armstrong:


This definitely goes on my dream list! The back half of our basement is concrete… my husband David has been opposed to vinyl tiles even retro-sized ones… but when I show him this, it just might turn him around. He likes shuffleboard! … I think it would be pretty easy to work this very primary red-white-blue design into any number of color combos. I really particularly like the Armstrong Excelon black – it looks like it hasn’t  changed forever.

Thanks also to reader Kitschy Kimberly who just happened to see a house with a vintage basement shuffleboard and sent this image in.  Man, was life simpler then, or what. Thank you Kitschy Kim!

Ha! The church that I grew up in had these shuffleboard tiles in the fellowship hall. Talk about a trip down memory lane.
