New Memorabilia Room (mostly autos)
 
4 Attachment(s)
Thought I'd put this on the auto forum, since most of my room is post-war autographs. Just finished my basement, and my wonderful wife let me make it my mem. room. I'm about 90% done. My father-in-law helped me build the lockers.

Since I don't know how to put words by each picture, here is the scoop:
The hanging wall case came from an old school (I'm a teacher, so it fits). It's filled with WWII Service Team photos and programs.
The "ball wall" is 3 deep, for the most part. Negro Leaguers, WWII/MLB players, HOFers, Game Used baseballs, and general interesting players.
The bats are gamers: under the home plate displays are HOFers, pretty much all the recent guys.
I left the beam exposed to display baseballs. The front ones are handpainted and signed, the back of the beam is NLers.
Still undecided about the wall space by the lockers.

PS: Did I mention my wife is wonderful??

Ken, your room is outstanding. Really really well done and well thought out. It does help to have a wonderful wife...I know because mine is taking her day off today and helping me with the finish work and touch up on my memorabila room crown molding. :D

That's not a room, it's a museum!

What can I say but, "Amazing".

Wow! Very impressive, so neat, clean & organized.

r2678 06-16-2013 07:47 AM

Very nice. I don't think my house is that big!

Big Six 06-16-2013 07:58 AM

All it's missing is a big comfy chair and a radio to listen to the ball game on. Great room and really well done!!!

Leon 06-16-2013 08:17 AM

wow...awesome...

Kzoo 06-16-2013 08:38 AM

like it...
 
Beautiful and well organized. It has a clean, uncluttered look for a sports room, even though there's a ton of stuff. Well done!!

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy

johnmh71 06-16-2013 08:58 AM

Very nice. I'm jealous.

ruth-gehrig 06-16-2013 09:19 AM

You should be very proud of the awesome room! (And wife!!)

cubsfan-budman 06-16-2013 09:43 AM

super cool!

kengoldin 06-16-2013 09:43 AM

Holy crap
Awesome
I am regulated to my work office to display most of my items...that and the basement

Lordstan 06-16-2013 09:47 AM

Great Job with that space. Where is the TV to watch the Games?

mr2686 06-16-2013 11:21 AM

By the way Ken, what's the size of your room?

thenavarro 06-16-2013 12:01 PM

Nice setup!

Thanks, all! The above is exactly what the wife was going for. I buy the stuff, she makes it look good.

This room is in the basement, under our new addition. It's 16x20.

Nice job, Ken! It's terrific!

Ken - terrific room, beautifully done! Thank your wife for us too, a beautiful sight for us all to take in.

cpbronco 06-16-2013 10:40 PM

Awesome room. Very impressed. I wish I had the room to do something like that.:)

slidekellyslide 06-16-2013 10:55 PM

Wow! :eek: Nicely done!

Rickyy 06-17-2013 01:00 AM

Yow! Great Man Cave! Your wife is the tops!

WOW!!! That's incredible, Ken. Oustanding layout, very well thought out and displayed.

Could you take a few close up pics of some of your favorite pieces?

thecatspajamas 06-17-2013 01:18 PM

Ken, Very nicely done! And impressive use of restraint in achieving the open, uncluttered look, something I fear would never last long in my house no matter how large the addition. Much like a gas, I'm one of those collectors who will find a way to spread and expand to fill every part of my "container" (currently defined by my wife as my office and adjacent garage). If I added a room that size, I fear it would suffer the same fate :p

JasonD08 06-17-2013 01:30 PM

Nothing short of amazing.....congrats!

whyconform 06-17-2013 03:14 PM

this is cool....makes me wonder how others display their collections? Is there a thread on this? (perhaps in another section of the forums)?

mr2686 06-17-2013 05:30 PM

Yes, try these:
