The collection is nice too. Thanks for sharing. Welcome to Net 54!

Funny story about the paint job and new pics......

I went to a out of town conference many years ago and was told by my lovely wife she was going to surprise me with a new paint job to my room. I helped pick out this scheme and showed her how to paint interiors (she had never done it before) then left out of town for like 5 days.

Came back, she had done 3 of 4 walls solid color, which was kinda sorta the plan and they looked........ok.

But this main wall, she wouldn't touch it lol, knew I was too picky and was unsure of how to really "lay it out". So I painted it, took like 2or 3 days, but pretty happy with how it turned out. Here's a few updated pix of some additional knick knacks I've picked up.

Also, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and compliments! Finally getting settled down and able more time to spend checking out things things around here!!!

Great job of painting the room!! Love the colors and how you have your "knick knacks" displayed.

Welcome Mike. I have also been a member for a short time and am learning the ropes from a lot of these guys. It is unfortunate you are a Cubs fan ha ha. I am a lifelong Reds fan and have gotten used to taking a beating from the Cubs lately. I live in North Carolina now, but was born in Cincinnati and went to high school near Indianapolis. The Indianapolis area was split between Cubs and Reds fans and cable TV brought in WGN to convert even more.

At some point, I�ll put together an introductory statement like you did. Very well done! And I do love the room and the paint job. Again, welcome to the site.
Maybe will meet up in the future. I do plan on attending the National in Chicago at the end of July and I�m going to go to see the Reds and Cubs play at Wrigley for the first time. Good timing on that one.

Cheers,
Brian

That's awesome and yeah, maybe.......I hope you enjoy Wrigley, its a blast and if you can, try to get there early and "take it in".

This was the last game I attended in person. May 21 2014 (I shot this from above the Under Armour sign in right center, took me awhile to find this pic lol)

Great shot! I will definitely try to get there early and walk around a bit. Thanks for the info.
