The brand of paint and color are Valspar, juniper (eggshell). I'm very happy with the color, so I'm glad you all are as well.

I'm actually looking forward to adding more new pieces at this point. I'm going to be selling a fair number of pieces I used to have out (I'll post here before going the ebay route). I'm trying to control the impulse to nail everything to the wall instantly simply to satisfy the urge to fill space (it's a very strong urge...ha ha).

I took my one of my favorite pennants to the framer yesterday. That will go to the right of the TV under the large team photo. I'm considering my options for displaying gloves as well. I may build a case for the wall next to the window, but I'm not jumping into anything. I'll keep posting updates as things go up.

Thanks

Ok fellas. I'm close enough to being done that I'll wrap up this post. Any changes will go into the pick-ups posts each month. I hope you have enjoyed this process as much as I have

I'm building a small custom book case that will sit where you see the clock in this first photo. That small glass table centered on the window contains my pinback collection (photo 2). I'll fill in here and there with smaller pieces, change pennants as upgrades or new favorites are added, and I'm going after a couple special figural pieces for the desk, book case, and shelves.

Hats off Mike. Really turned out great.
The newly framed Yankees pennant aint bad either. Any plans to have more pennants framed? The '35 Cubs pennant seems like it could be a strong candidate.

Thanks guys. Brock, I would love to get them all framed. I may knock off a couple a year, but they take up a lot more space framed, and at around $150 a pop I could buy a Spalding trophy with that money.

Default Wow Mike! It looks like something out of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book...

Can't decide what to get your impossible to buy for Husband, who's a huge Baseball fan, for Christmas. Here's an instant and ultimate Sports Den. Completely furnished with everything pictured. A Neiman Marcus Exclusive. One only. Call for Pricing.

BTW... that scoreboard above the TV is the stone cold nuts! Well Done Mike.

Looks amazing, Mike...

I notice something new (and very cool) everytime I look at the pics. You made perfect use of the allocated space, and got so much in (without looking at all messy or cluttered).

Congrats on a fantastic result, and dont forget that valuable ceiling space, as you expand the pennant collection!
