    Did I go to far? Opinions requested.

    Just curious if you think I over did it with the Chicago Flag curtains I had made. I was originally going to use a flag like the one shown but instead of using a brand new flag I was going to use one flown over U.S. Cellular Field. The "Game Used" flag was just to stained and faded and would not come clean so I just bought a new one.

    What do you think? To Bold? To Colorful?

    You won't hurt my feelings. It was actually my wife's idea.

    You know what she also said which threw me for a loop? Don't you want your book shelves filled up with memorabilia instead of my books? Find some cool memoribilia to go in there. It will go with the office better than the books.

    Looks fine Glen. Nice room. As for your wife's comments; I'd take he up on that quickly. That is something I'll never hear outta my wife;s mouth in my lifetime. Lucky you.

      Nice room. My opinion, I think the flag is too bright and stand out way too much.

        You're wasting potential GU item display space with those flags and definitely with those books!

          The flags/curtains only appear bright because of the contrast with the dark panelling. It's an awesome room and you're on the right track. I love your bat display way more than my own. Keep up the good work!

              I think you need a bigger monitor!

                Sorry for the delay but yes there is a window there that is why I needed the curtain.



                Also,

                Thinking about what my wife said about the book shelves.

                What do you think if I put four maniquins in there (2 each side) and put either glass doors or a glass front on them?

                Here is an example.



                What do you all think?

                Thanks,

                Glen

                  Looks better with the curtains open and glass fronts as your wife suggested would improve the presentation and offer some protection if you use UV glass.
