    I love the inclusion of all four houses and the transitions! My family constantly pokes fun at me as I am 50 years old and have magical displays all over my home office. What can I say, it makes me happy. I've also been told "Harry Potter is over, you missed the boat"... clearly there are plenty of us still on board so thank you for sharing!

    My whole house is slowly becoming HP themed. I'm painting rooms as the house colors, one bathroom is Ministry themed, the other will be Honeydukes themed, kitchen is inspired by the Burrow. Hogwarts is my home and I'm turning my home into Hogwarts!

      @@kayz-art That would be awesome, I actually only live a few hours away from Peter. However, my home is nowhere near finished. My house was my dad's fencing business, which he converted to a residential home. When he passed away a couple of years ago, I took over the renovations. I am working with the bare bones of a house and doing all the interior on my own. I still have flooring, paint, baseboards, ceilings, and a million other little things I have to complete before it's ready to show. But it's coming along, just slowly since I'm not using outside help. Perhaps in a couple of years it will reflect my standards and love of the wizarding world and I will showcase it!

    I’m sad the divination cup and the Hedwig puppet didn’t make it. I think it would be a cool idea if you kept some of the stuff that didn’t make it this time in storage so that way you have different things to change it up next time you reorganize your display items.

    Peter....you are not alone!! And if you cannot get into your library to be with your collection then that defeats the whole reason for collecting which is enjoyment. I used to collect rare vinyl LPs in the 70s and 80s and found out this for myself. Prune your collection - you will feel better. 🙂 I'm a Ravenclaw btw.

    If you’d like some light on top of the shelves you can get string lights that you’d put on a Christmas tree and place them all the way around behind everything. It would give it a nice glow if you chose warm white instead of regular white. You can also tape the lights down if you don’t want the bulbs showing

    I have a Zelda collection and I don't reorganize often, but I did for 2022 and 2023. It's quite refreshing changing things up and seeing how by just moving things over, or just facing it a different way, you can suddenly get more space to put more stuff OR display items better.

I am in the middle of doing a clean up of my room as well. It's kind of a mess because when I moved back home from college I had more stuff but the same sized room. So I'm hoping to finish cleaning out my childhood stuff and making it more a room for me now in the next couple months.

    Ravenclaw here, great job on the decorating and you've given me some ideas, thx. For any established library of any kind it takes time and often broken into multiple sessions to reorganize, shift or move items, and build placements for additions. Doing this part of the process can feel overwhelmingly like a Triwizard Tournament task, but worth it in the end. Myself and my house elf pals are tackling my office/library beast soon so I don't feel like I'm sitting in a cross between the room of requirement and a forgotten closet at the Lovegood house. And I love the organized chaos!

    I got in a bad funk right before Christmas, I don't know why but I knew January is normally my slow month, so I took the time to reorganize my sewing room and gave it a huge overhaul and it REALLY helped my mood. My room stays trashed from Oct to the end of December with me getting Christmas orders out so it was really needed anyway lol But I feel so much better and now I really need a shelf to display the bags I created this year so when I get stumped, I can look at what I've already created and encourage myself to keep going. I just finished a Bertie botts every flavor bean book bag and I'm so proud of it and keep looking at it lol. Your room looks amazing, and I hope it helps you feel better about going into that room.

    Great job Peter. I've recently moved my whole collection to a new room so I know what reorganising feels like. I bet it feels good to get that done. You have a great eye for displaying. The Tale of the Three Brothers section was my favourite layout you did. Saw a few things I might try to get in the Potter Collector sale. Thanks for sharing.
