[HPFGU-OTChatter] Decorating

[Heidi Tandy]

I actually just put together a comic book room in our house for my 
husband - and have a few thoughts, but it depends how much you want to 
spend.

First of all, the land of nod (use google to find their website) has a 
cool ceiling fixture that you can paint - stencils of brooms or dragons 
would work well on it.

Second, you can get hp fabric - I think at joann's fabric - and use it 
for pillows or curtains or to drape the walls or ceiling - in fact, a 
ceiling painted to look like the sky - day or noght- would be 
Hogwartsian.

Third, put your best stuff on lit pedestals, if you have the space. 
Otherwise, get ledge-depth shelves - 4 inches or so - for your smaller 
things. And if your action figs are still boxed, you can leave them that 
way and get pegboard at home depot, then use the kind of hooks they have 
in stores to hang them up.

Oh, and get one of those plastic barking fluffy wall plaques to warn 
interlopers away. And make sure you don't put up an archway with a veil. 
I mean, why tempt fate?

Heidi, whose husband loves his all comics all the time room
