Nice looking room @wolverine180! I dig those Super Foes Puzzles and the round top spinner!

Thank you. I got the puzzles a couple years ago . and the funny thing is that they all say 200 piece puzzles.  Well when I got them. I counted pieces first in the joker and had 203 or 204. And I immediately thought these were all mixed up. One of the others had 197. I thought this was going to be real fun figuring this out. Well, turns out that the joker was correct. And so were the others lol.

I never finished going over this whole topic and thanks to Photobucket I never will. But there are some nice setups here. I'll post my G.I. Joe corner when I get it setup with my Snake Eyes Prime 1 statue which was delayed till next year.

I love that statue display Namesjay.  May I ask if those cabinets are from ikea as I really need a statue display and that looks perfect!

Yes, doors and cabinets are all IKEA. Lighting is Amazon.com.

So I wanted to post up the updated pics of my room. Especially since Photobucket stopped hosting for 3rd party:

 

And here's some other things in the house:

Some barstools in the basement:

My roomie decided that our dining room table was boring:

And a terrible panorama of my living room bookshelf:

 

There's quite a few other things around the house as well.

Perhaps I missed it - but did you guys make the chair tops/table top yourself - and how?

I made the barstools. My roomie did the tabletop. I did the barstools with stripping the old fabric, adding a new layer of batting & spray upholstery adhesive, an industrial staple gun, and reinstalling the seats onto the frames.

The roomie did the table with just decoupage. I also laid down a few coats of clear coat overtop. But I've been thinking of laying a whole layer of the pourable epoxy on tope.

Is the art just cut up comics then (paper) with a coat on top? Its hard to tell from photo?

@wormboy

I like it a lot, are these your passion items? As it doesn't look like there is much room to add to it....

Neither here nor there though

Looks great!! 

[wormboy]

Thanks!

Yeah, these are my favorite things.

You're correct, it's almost full. In fact, the only reason there's a little space at the bottom is because I kicked out my sci-fi-fi novel collection (moved it up stairs) and scooted the Absolutes over to the right. Before that, it was (and will again soon be) "one in one out" - where, every time I buy something new, something else has to go to the "sell pile". It's a good way of distilling it down to my favorites.

I clean yet mine seem to need cleaning all the time and I don't have near as much stuff. I'm in awe of how well yours and other's look compared to the accumulation  of books

 It's a challenge to keep them clean.

I put all the hardcover dust jackets into Brodart mylars - that helps.

I also dust the whole setup with a feather duster at least once a week, and do a shelf by shelf polish every couple of months.

I believe so, yes. She just cut up a buttload of old X-Men comics & layered them down with some overlapping. I personally would have went with full pages or covers, but this worked too. She would brush some adhesive onto the table, lay the comic bit on it, then lay some more adhesive & then keep repeating. The top coat was just done with a spray clear coat. I was torn between a glass top over top of the finish or doing an epoxy pour. I went with glass for a while, but I think I'm going to do the epoxy in the spring.

I dig the organization of it all !!  Nice library wormboy

[Batman1fan]

As someone who appreciates a well organized and great display presentation, may I say, that is awezome!!

Those were the hardest to find of anything on the shelf.

Started collecting them before eBay, when it was truly a challenge, and overpayed for a few because of it.

The first one I found was Fantastic Four at Green Apple Books in San Francisco. It was priced at $110 (this is 20 years ago) because they had a real savvy comics guy who knew how rare it was.  The checker took a double take and thought someone made a mistake

Cor, when can I move in? I love the Doctor Who curtain and is that Matt Smith hiding in there?

I'd have given you another like but I'm all out of 'reactions' today. Stoopid boards.

Yeah. They're Doctor Who curtains & that is a pencil drawing of Matt Smith. I didn't do the sketch, but I don't recall where it came from either. I have so much comic art around the house that I lose track of where it all came from.
