So I started collecting long ago but only in the last year decided to redo my upstairs cave. It's a 21x17 room with a bathroom thankfully that leads to a walking attic for storage. I had 2 then 3 Detolfs but as soon as my first HTs arrived they were not cutting it and so I bought 2 Billy's with glass shelves then I ordered my first PF and well the Billy's wouldn't cut it so I snagged two very tall and large PAX.
I also am using the LEDs slim style lights. I have to get more but until a few PFs get here I'm holding off. I am also buying new lighting for the Detolfs. The room is not near finished heh like they ever are but it's had a lot that I did do. I don't have the old pic on my phone so since this is the start of the thread I'll try to skim over it.
I ripped out the rug and put in the one flooring I truly loved called Opal stone laminate. Nice short fat planks since this is my Death Star cave in disguise. Repainted all the trim but left the walls the dark brown I painted when I bought the house. It works well actually. All the shelves are white except the Detolfs but they were purchased long ago.
I just want to say I've put in 8 wood floors in rooms and this by far was the hardest. I moved glass and collectibles so many times loading and unloading shelves I ma have done less to take them downstairs. I had to cut the carpet out in 6 foot wide sections then move furniture and the same as I put the floor down while going up and down stairs for cuts lol whew tough tough job but man it looks fantastic now.
At this point I have most items about where they will be but I am possibly adding a few small shelves for a few small figures I just like like my black series Snowtrooper or a few McFarlane Halo items.
My collection consists of Star Wars and Halo. Never got the SS Halo because it's not worth over $250 to me and they sell for a lot.
Here I am attaching a few pics of it just tonight and I'll post more as I go along. Just note that the place is messy, there are wires all over none are hidden. I have yet to group wiring into areas since you can put 2 LEDs on one plug. It's a work in progress.
It doubles as my office. I have so many items not here yet and boxes of Halo figures to sell. I need to pause my life for a good 2-3 months.
