Paul..No surprising finds, but a lot of sh*t. The Playboys are full run from The Inaugural issue, my Birthday until 1990. ..Doug

Wow, that looked like a lot of work.. But, I'm guessing the new carpet will look very nice.

Watch out! The next project may be painting the walls.

Doug Rose · November 30, 2014, 04:08:59 PM

I am ready! Four day weekend pretty much all in my phone room....with a little Turkey! All the shelving is ready to be assembled, the tracks are mounted securely to studs. They are coming to to my room on Tuesday. It will be a much different room.

It will be Janet.......approved...thankfully.....this time. When it was built 13 years ago, it wasn't going to be all phones as it is now...Doug

You are putting in more shelving? It appears as if the only place to put them is on the windows.

Something that goes well with Western Electric color phones, I should hope.

Good thinking, furnish around the telephone.

Good luck, Doug!

I hope that all goes just fine. I know that I would be terribly nervous, and stressed out,

but ideally you'll come out with even better than before.

Best regards!

How about Neutral Gray?

Oh, wait, Doug doesn't collect 500s...

That only leaves green, Dark Blue, Pekin Red, Ivory, Oxidized Silver, Dark Gold, black, Nickel color, Chrome color, Mottled Brown, Indigo...

Well, pretty much any WE color in existence...

Color was not my choice, I am a man!! Jan did a great job...as usual....Doug

Any idea how many phones you have.

Funny! I bet you cannot count all of your phones.

Sorry Guys...I did not place the finshed room in this thread. My bad!! Below are pics of the finished room.

I did give up counting along time ago. Is a 202 and a subset 1 or 2. I can tell you I have a roomful and am extremely proud of the finished product.

Many thanks to my youngest daughter, Laurie's long time boyfriend, Jared who gave me great help with the shelving. He will be a wonderful son in law.

Sorry to gush, but I am just so damned thrilled with the result

Yes...it is Janet approved.....Doug
