Key to successful wargames room?
Wife be...*laugh*<br /><br />Key to successful wargames room?<br /><br />Wife before room.<br /><br />Then all will be fine!:D<br /><br />Seriously though, I think there are some very easy, low-cost ways to decorate a game room without it looking cheesy. I am disappointed when you see someone with a great space but then they decorate in the style of a college dorm room for 45 year old men... I think the biggest thing is just making sure things are framed, even if the frames are a bit cheap... pages out of magazines and books are an easy way to get prints. There are some fantastic maps in this book...<br /><br />http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Great-Maps-of-the-Civil-War/William-J-Miller/e/9781558539990<br /><br />They are all large and folded up within the book, and reproduced BEAUTIFULLY, right down to the ink stains and dirt... frame a few up and bang, beautiful decorations!Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-30735017115670949502009-09-28T06:16:20.948-07:002009-09-28T06:16:20.948-07:00Thanks mate = )

Well.. it cost me $140(au) to import, which I thought was step.. it's in getting framed as we speak for another $300!<br /><br />It's probably the last expensive print I do for some time, but will take pride of place on my feature wall!<br /><br />That reminds me, must buy my wife flowers...Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548046341442554957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-59208890315499979302009-09-28T05:51:01.867-07:002009-09-28T05:51:01.867-07:00Hey, I feel the teacher bit, trust me... you know,...Hey, I feel the teacher bit, trust me... you know, I think the primary things you need for a nice room are really A) space and B) willingness to build. If you are able to do a lot of your own work and you have the space, anything is possible!<br /><br />And Marcus, your room is probably the most watched one around... that space is just insane:) I swear, the most fun you will have is once it is all together and you get to decorate... I really do feel like a well-decorated wargames room is the key. Even buying a book of prints and removing the pages/prints and framing them in simple frames is a good start!<br /><br />Oh, and as a few folks have asked; in the poll, neither the Perrys nor their miniatures actually come with the room:)Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-29186811522579966642009-09-28T04:09:37.409-07:002009-09-28T04:09:37.409-07:00Hi Lord Ashram..

I think he said it was a total of $1200 or $1500... which is not CHEAP by any means, but given the outcome...?<br /><br />The cases I got from The Home Decorator; they are just fantastic. Here is a link to the appropriate post to it... not the cheapest in the world, but ultimately perfect for the job.<br /><br />http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Addison_Floor_Curio/210/<br /><br />Thanks for coming by!Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-76563512980083557512009-09-27T05:45:55.255-07:002009-09-27T05:45:55.255-07:00Thanks for posting the shots of the different game...Thanks for posting the shots of the different game rooms - it's something for me to aspire to as I plan my own. More importantly, a few of them (especially the "dungeon" one allow me to point out to my wife that my efforts are the very model of moderation compared to others! <br /><br />By the way, the glass cases in your room, did you build them or were they purchased? I need to put up some more figure storage and was thinking about alternatives.jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.com
