The re-introduction of V!

[g6t9ed]

I must've started being active as you were going on hiatus but am glad to hear the positive return. Congrats also and hopefully we'll see more of you and your collection!

Thanks I'm gonna continue making some progress on our bedroom again today (started painting yesterday), as that will also be our collection room again (although this time it's big enough that we don't have to sacrifice a bed for it!)

Will get some progress pics up as I go along, plus I'm gonna get back into the swing of things with my site x

Finishing the painting in our bedroom/games room today, so will post pics when done

Getting some frames in the next few weeks so that I can hang various artworks that we have around the house. The "artwork plan" so far is as follows:

Living room - Cook and Becker Mirror's Edge "Above it All" artwork



Hallway (we have a massive hallway that spans 3 1/2 floors) - 5x Tomb Raider Giclees;

Sam Spratt "Tomb Raider"



Andrew Ryan "No Turning Back"



Cate Range "Reborn"



Laura Bifano "Taking Aim"



Mark Molchan "Shussan Suru"



Apologies for the crap photos, they're from loooong ago, when I first got them all and as they are all still packaged away due to the move, can't take new pics till they're found, framed and up (no IRL pic of the Sam Spratt one as it is currently with Biggav4000 - sorry!)

Also have some other artworks I want to get framed and hung, although undecided on location as of yet. I have a signed Super Meat Boy poster that's huge, a signed The Walking Dead poster (cinema poster huge!), a custom artwork by Rufus Dayglo that he did for my birthday a few years back (if you've been to my site, I have it as the site background - Tank Girl and Harley Quinn), as well as various artworks that are within CEs that I'd like to get up, and also some that Allan has done himself that we had up in our last house x

Awesome art! Still kicking myself that I missed the Spratt TR one! It's my fav!

Finished decorating the bedroom/games room







Collection has yet to begin the moving in process (that starts tomorrow!), but all along the wall on the left hand side will be our shelves. Where the couch is just now will have another two shelves (and the couch will be moved to the foot of the bed). Two shorter sets of shelves will be under the windows, either side of the bed, and then we'll see what else is to be done .

TV stand will be replaced at some point with one that fits the rest of the colour scheme (oh, and ignore the mattress against the wall, have ended up with a spare so it's just sitting there for now till we get rid of it) x

I see your man had no choice on the color palette

This is gonna be a cool thread watching your collection rooms come together

Haha yeah, I won the battle for bedroom colour he didn't put up much of a fight tbh as he didn't mind either way

There will be more photos today, woop! Moving our shelves in today, not sure if all at once or if we'll do them bit by bit.

We have 7 tall, wide shelves, 2 mid-height wide shelves, 3 slightly smaller (and mismatched) wide shelves, and 3 tall skinny shelves. Oh and a big wide pigeonhole style set of shelves too (but those are brown when all the others are black). Oh, and a The Last of Us display standee that looks like a vending machine. Can't hold much but it's huge so basically a shelf too!

2 of the tall, wide ones are in our entrance hallway just now, the other 5 of those ones are in my mother in laws (taking up her entire hall) so I think at the very least we'll get those ones into the room. All of our actual collection is spread out between both of our parents' houses, so we will have to move the actual CEs in bit by bit too x

The seven big shelves that we have, have now been brought into the room and put into place, along with 2 of the tall skinny shelves. Still need to slot in the actual shelf parts and then decide what way I'm placing everything into the shelves

Also, if anyone remembers my old collection pics, this shows just how much bigger this room is compared to the old room. Old room could only fit 3 shelves on one wall, max, whereas I have 5 of the big shelves, plus two skinny shelves on one wall now, with room to spare




Can't wait to start bringing the collection in x

[vhal_x]

Starting to place the shelf inserts into them, so that we can start moving stuff into the room. Looking forward to sorting it all out x
