Thought there was a thread, but I don't usually necropost... here's mine. Let's see other folks'!

My nightstand. Cluttered but effective
Posted Image

Main view. Closet is partly clothes and large storage, dedicated part of it as a quiet dark refuge for Miss Luna (PTSD support animal, big fluffy lazy thing) to be in when not with me, otherwise all me. I prefer to sleep (when I can sleep) on my huge couch instead of my bed, lots of room for Luna and I to sleep together if desired. Notice SG on computer... my everpresent Mountain Dew Code Red 2-liter is not visible

On my TV stand:

Junkyard (in progress, needs shed straightened and needs some final touches)
Posted Image

Wall by the couch, almost all thrift-hunted.

Bates Motel nightlight from Hot Topic:

Now show your man caves, garages, etc.! :) :toy:

I call my little efficiency apartment "The Batcave" or "Castle Wolfenstein". :D

Here's mine. I eventually want to make the one wall where most of the cars are one giant display with glass and lights, but I just haven't had the time to build it.

Whole room from doorway, the ugly couch is my dogs.

Wall with desk and computer. 1/18's on top shelf, shelves next to computer are for new additions before they are sorted:

Jeeps, trucks, other off-roaders, etc. in the lonely shelf in the corner:

Main wall of cars. This is after getting rid of several hundred. It's still too crowded for my tastes, but I've reached the point of not wanting to get rid of any more, so it will eventually just be rebuilt to fit more and have more room between cars.

Wall art:

Ferrari shelf:

Kyosho's, Tomica's, etc.

Mostly Hot Wheels:

My only carded cars, the shipper fit perfect so it works. 1/43 on the side.

More pictures with close ups of some of the shelves in case anyone is interested are in my photobucket:

Ben, what's the silver #154 car on the Allure of the Automobile poster?
Joe, It is a 1953 Porsche 550. They built two prototypes and used them to race in several races including the Carrera Panamericana where the livery pictured came from. Of the two built, it is the only one that survived and was the car that really launched Porsche as a competitive race car manufacturer. The top was actually removable on the prototypes, and it went on to become the production 550 Spyder. It was beyond breathtaking to see in person at the exhibit.

WOW!!!!!! some pretty sweet stuff there. You definitely got some time involved in arranging those cars like that. That looks good and ya can see them all. Very nice collection... I ran out of room in my office, bedroom, and the room I built in my basement. I ended up building a 16 X 24 room on the side of my garage and rapidly running out of room there!!! Here's what I have done so far...
