This is a great display, but won't the books become faded?
Added a little bit to the wall. 2 new shelves & a piece of Nextwave OA that I picked up from a fellow boardie. I think this wall is sufficiently packed at this point.

Over a few years, yeah. But that's if I don't change it up. The room has only 2 windows & when I'm not trying to take a picture, the curtains are pulled shut & the door is closed & the light is off. I'm in there for maybe 20-30 minutes a week at most. The other 167.5 hours per week it's in total darkness. It's no more light exposure in a year than wall books would get at a convention in 1 weekend.

Just a start, got my display shelf up with some toys and original art portfolio

View as you walk in my comic room.

Closer look at my display, bottom shelf will hold some hardcover books soon.

Still lots to do. Did pick paint colors though (grey with a scarlet focus wall, and white trim) should paint in a few weeks

Thanks, I have both, the OA display portfolio and framed art (not up yet). The portfolio lets me easily change what's out in view. I tend to change the page every time I go into my room. On single page art, I display the published page opposite the original.

Not exactly a room, but scored a small display case at Ikea today. Still messing with how to fill it, but think this could be the start of something good.

 

Cool start, and post a finished picture when done (thumbs u

Ikea all the way - I use some of their bookshelves we freed up when we moved, and some of those library display stands for my favourite books, just my small shared corner of the room...

So cool! For some reason I love the simplicity of this + stacked comics always look awesome.

Thanks! I'm still working on it. But the challenge is certainly keeping it simple. I have so many books I'd like to showcase and keeping it to this one piece of furniture is a real challenge! Will post updated pics when I get it to where I like it.
