I never thought I'd see the day (room decor)...

...when my wife would say, that is cool looking right there.

You see, my HT room has several swords hanging around, and on the stage floor, most all from The Lord of the Rings. But, as I started to clear the room out in anticipation of my Sucker Punch memorabilia showing up I wasn't sure what to do with them, and my wife always commenting on how much she hates them. So, I thought I try this, and than ask for forgiveness. After all, it's better to do, then ask for forgiveness rather then ask first. So, I did this the other day, and she loved it.

    Hey, that looks like the Prancing Pony! Pretty cool. I have Gimli's axe, Xmas gift. It's still in a box until I figure out what to do with it. lol

    Bev likes how I decorate too...I don't know where I get it from--I don't think I'm ****--I dunno it's all very confusing :biggrin:. I don't have a creative bone in my body, but I can decorate really well.

    My cousin will be asking WTH is it? He has the one you have hung up so I'm sure he'll be chasing me with it if I don't have the axe but I'll be sure to hit you up the day my wife says, "get rid of that". :biggrin:

    Nice!

    Being a single geek, I've had women ask if I'm **** because I keep a clean and decorated house. Like others here I can pick place to put things that always seems to work. Not a typical single guy in their eyes I guess.

    There all made by United Cutlery, the only licensed company to reproduce the swords. They are seriously legit swords, the quality is beyond excellent. I've got several different ones, some perfectly sharp enough to slice paper, others false-edged.

    The sword itself is killer. What's really impressive is where it's mounted. Looks like it was MADE to be hung there. Nice job!

    Looks cool, Ron. I'm too embarrassed to list my geek habits here, but if you look around the boards, I've dropped some clues as to the dorky stuff I collect.

    :redface:

    What is so geeky about PIE? :wink:

    Ron- I'm not into swords and such but I have to admit it looks very well placed where you have it now, it just flows with the design.

    Looks very nice. Now I want one.:rolleyes:

    Just started watching the extended versions again last weekend. They are so long. One a weekend seems about right.

    My decorating skill consists of stacks of equipment, wires and game controllers. I am neither creative or capable of decorating. Fortunately I don't get stressed by my surroundings. :biggrin:
