C'mon, Rae, where's that famous motto of yours?

"Oh, that would be easy to make. That part there, you could make it with stuff you get at the store down the street... You could make the whole thing for a tenth of the cost!"

actually, as it turns out, the price the lady quoted on the tub was regular retail. I gave her my contractor's name and viola it was less than half the price! I know it's still a lot, but it's what I want and I'm gonna buy it! Better to get what you want the first time that to regret it forever.

I'll have walls soon! Than I can paint! Can't wait!

And one particular movie poster I WANT (badly): Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom.
Have you ever been to the official LOTR store on the official website www.lordoftherings.net?
That is where all the official posters (the ones that you see in the movie theaters) are sold, and that is where I have bought all of mine (I own 8!). The only problem is since they are official, they are a little bigger than the ones that you would see at the mall, and so it's very hard to find ready-made frames for them. I know that they have the one that you want available there.

Oh Rae, you should get that bathtub! It's so beautiful and so untub like. I could see it in a very Rivendell like setting, with a lot of plants, and my absolute favorite Rivendell accent: Lanterns

Gorwingel, I'm gonna order the tub Monday. It'll take 6 weeks to arrive . Hopefully the house will be in a state to recieve it by then. After that I'm never getting out of it! You can bury me in it!

Thanks, Gorwingel! I knew I had seen it on the internet, but I was begining to think it wasn't an official poster because I couldn't find it again. You were right, it was at lordoftherings.net. I'll have to find a friend with a credit card I can use, lol. Congrats, Raefindel! Glad your getting the tub of your dreams.

That is one beautiful bathtub! I'd better start saving if I want it in my house.

I'm well on the way to having a beautiful room. I've got more crystals, more shells... and that's about it... there isn't much more I can do to my room. It's very much Dol Amroth.

I want to re-decorate one of the downstairs rooms in the style of Rohan. It's already crammed full of dark wood furniture and elaborate wooden carvings and such.
Actually, I'm not too sure as to what colours a Rohirric room would be. I know they live in a wooden house an' all, but I can't really get that style just yet. So what paint am I looking at? And any general style tips?

Meela, the Rhovanion banner is a white horse on a green field, so I can imagine green/white would be a typical colour scheme. I haven't seen the movie in awhile, so I'm not sure what colours it uses in the Golden Hall (besides gold, of course! ), but if I had to improvise, I'd go for dark, rich primary colours - blues and reds, beside the gold.
