I know I posted some pictures in the past but I continue to add some items to my collection. Still want to put in a Duke border halfway up the wall and paint the bottom section of the room blue.

Some clippings about Jon's stand out season, the Wake game I just went to, and an article from the Washington Post on Josh and Montrose. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a320/thecorbar/DukeRoom009.jpg

ESPN Rise magazine with Josh and Tyler, a 2009-2010 team pic from the Duck Shop, Cheer sheet and program from Duke's bashing of MD last season, and my grandfather's old golf towel. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a320/thecorbar/DukeRoom010.jpg

Nolan Smith signed ball (I'll add signatures each time I meet a Dukie) http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a320/thecorbar/DukeRoom011.jpg

My grandfather's old trash can. I am not sure when it is from but I think it has to be the 70s http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a320/thecorbar/DukeRoom012.jpg

Gotta get Fathead(s) of the Blue Devil and the Duke logo (they also sell one of JJ shooting)....and there is a 16x20 frame that has a pleated type background in it that is great for putting in cards and schedules to display.
And because the cards and schedules (and Photos) are tucked in behind the pleat you can change them out anytime you want - or as you acquire new stuff.

Hey man, that is one freaking awesome room!

Let me reccommend avoiding the border though.

I had my room in the house done in Seahwaks border (die hard fan) but eventually I wanted to switch things around and it is a HUGE pain to take that crap down off the wall.

If you love it, go ahead and do it, but if there is any chance you'll get tired of it or want to switch it, I'd avoid it.

Once again, awesome room.

How about a framed Duke flag....and maybe one of those big wall stickers they have of Coach K?

Hey that's a cute baby you have!

Cool room and fine looking family. Hey I'd love to find a Duke bus like you have. They have some pretty cool Duke neon signs and stained glass lamps at Lowe's too.

This is EXACTLY what kind of room I want to have after I graduate from Duke. :D

I guess I'll have to start saving EVERYTHING Duke-related that I obtain over the next four years!

I might even save those wrist-bands from the games like that one guy did - and frame them. :)

The trashcan is from the 70's. I have one in my Duke room. I bought it back then.

That is a beautiful family you have there, and congrats on the room.

Serious question: Is that room ALWAYS that clean!?

Very well done! :cool: I look forward to seeing more updates in years to come. :D

Thanks everyone! Good point on the Duke border. Maybe I will just install a white chair rail instead and then do the bottom in blue?

Yes that room is always very clean as it doesn't get much use! Except that I just go in and stare at stuff every now and then.

Hopefully I'll get more use out of it once my side business gets some clients!!!!

I have a HUGE Duke floor mat - you've gotta get one of those. Home Depot sells them in Durham...

I emailed Dave Bradley the pics just for fun and he asked if I'd mind if he used some in an upcoming Blue Planet Magazine :)

I've been a Duke fan all my life! Priceless. Where did you get it?

We got it at Cameron when I took my wife to her first game a few seasons back. She was 7 months pregnant at the time and we got a picture of her holding the shirt on her big belly! Thought that was pretty cool :)

i'm sure you're a very nice person and at least you don't have a musical Duke toilet seat but this is just a little bit much isn't it?

No, it's actually not enough IMO.

Yeah, not nearly enough! What about a Duke air conditioner fan cover outside the house. And a Duke grill cover, and a Duke weather vane, and a Duke shower curtain, and a, and a........the list must never end! :D
