Ok, so I have a large playroom that leads into a sophisticated media room and I need to organize my collectibles (globes, old chinese checker boards, vintage lunch boxes & antique toys), my kids stuff (books, board games & kids dvds) and my husbands additions (sports memorabilia, concert posters & music dvds).
I am dieing to paint & the ceiling has some cool angles to it so I could also paint it a different color to accent the ceiling……
Basically, I need some ideas for showcasing our “stuff”. Some color ideas for the walls & ceiling.. and anything else ya want to tell me! :)
The furniture is cream leather & the tv is on a red locker locker thing we got at Ikea and then the shelving I do have is espresso finished wood.
Tell me what ya got people! I need ideas to bring this room together!

    Just a couple of days ago, I got a catalog from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. One of the things showcased was a very nice decorative set of shelves, something like a shadow box but larger. It was made of some dark wood: I want to say mahogany or something similar. Take a look at that!

    Also on HGTV, a number of times I saw seating built that also served as storage. You have some lovely furniture already, but hopefully this will give you ideas.

    Good luck!

    I personally would do a cream, or tan in the back of the shelving unit. If you need more shelving get a built in or have two the same you have, put on the two ends of the wall with tv in middle. If you have espresso, tans, put a soft red on the ceiling, or a wash of a red so not so bold. I believe this will be classy enough to go with adjoining room, but can still add lots of other colors for accents-pillows etc. Have fun!
