The Bowen Room..

Here's my custom-made cabinets in the Family Room of Bowen MBs...with the exception of Brown Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Bucky (all on a shelf w/few other spillovers in my office)..a completist's shrine, plus some customs.

Problem is that:

a) I soon will run out of space, thereby marking the impending end of my MB Completist Days...and

b) I'll never move outta this house, as I don't want to rebuild this ever again!

But I love turning the lights on in the display at night, and enjoying the room!

Wow great collection!!! Can't you just start buying cabinets to continue your collection? I just bought my first Detolf and love it! Would be a shame to have to stop collecting now for you. Looks great though!!

Looks like a easy fix to me just move the sofa and table and build another row of shelfs.

Great collection....in my case I had just as many and no space so I sold the ones least favorite and built an addition to the house large enough to fit any new editions & future pieces.I'm more selective now then I was before.Bowen pieces are a great investment plus these pieces can get you out of any financial setbacks.

Nice set-up. If you run out of room, you'll find another way. Us collectors don't give up so easily.

Sounds like a good plan. I just hope he has the room. I think the shelves would look even better if they took up the wall. Kind of like built-ins. Problem would be that the lowest shelves would be obscured by the sofa. Awesome display Bomen!
