It's like you took several photos of heaven.

Your house is my idol, especially the Covington display! Seriously the coolest thing i've seen in a loong time! :D

Awww, thanks. It takes a fair bit of work to keep everything well maintained (the office alone takes at least an hour to dust), but I consider it a labor of love.

The Covington display was put together because I wanted a way to use all the bits and pieces from my g/f's costume.

If you look really closely at the picture, you should be able to see the bullet hole in the hat.

I think I'm still blinking a bit in disbelief, but a little in awe too.

That's very cool! :D

I do that. Sometimes looking at the amount of stuff we have is overwhelming.

Heh, its so organized and displayed because I'm anal, and I have OCD. I go through the house at least once a week straightening the pictures, and so forth. It drives me nuts otherwise.

Tips on displaying stuff anonymous July 22 2007, 20:38:18 UTC
Hi,

I love your pics of your Xena stuff. Very cool!

I have tons of pics I want to hang and wanted to ask you how you hang yours.
Do you have the ones that aren't in frames in some protective holder?
Also did you mount your framed pics yourself? If so, any tips on doing that? I especially like your Lucy Roxy display with the tickets in it.

Thanks

It all depends on the type of picture. Pretty much any of the 8X10's are all in frames that I got at Wal-Mart. I always get the one's in the section we call "budget frames" because they're inexpensive, and if something happens to one, I'm not out a great deal of money to get a new frame. That's also the same place I got the frame for the Roxy display piece. That one was a little more expensive though ($12).

Some of the other stuff is in protective holders, and some of it isnt. It depends on the piece itself, and whether or not its a duplicate. All of the magazines are in slip covers, to keep the dust off, and so there's no need to put hole's in them.

The shots that have been ripped out of my old Xena calendars are literally hung with tape.

My biggest tip? Put everything that you want to hang in a certain spot in a group, and just look at it, and see how creative you can be with hanging it.

Unfortunately most of the stuff found in these pictures has since been moved around, due to a new living arrangement.
