92xj Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 After 2 weeks of drying, I could not wait any longer. I had to mount my first Turkey fan and hang it on the wall. I am running out of wall space and ledge space. Hopefully this fall/winter, I will have a deer or two plus an antelope to hang, just not sure where i'm going to show them off. Anyhere, here's an update of my den... Also, since apparently all my buddies think my fan looks great they asked me to do theirs, I'm going to start charging them! And two more, just because.. This picture has animal parts from all over the country. Texas shipped from New York, downtown Charlotte NC, The blue ridge mountains and BC Canada. Pretty cool! William, I'm going to need that new house of yours to display all this stuff. Please leave the side door open and the keys on the counter, I will be there this afternoon to move in. Thanks!

Dawg Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks good Ben, even though I think I would paint the walls a different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks good Ben, even though I think I would paint the walls a different color. What color? I need to paint the wall behind me while I was taking those pictures as well. I dont have the eye for interior painting and what looks good and matches and all that stuff.

Dawg Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I would stick to a mutual color but pick one that will make the colors of your wildlife "pop". Right now it all blends in too much. I would leave the upper part of the wall (recessed part) a lighter color than the main wall, but would not leave it white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 The turkey fan turned out great! I love the duck mounts too. I think Dawg may be right about a different paint color to make everything pop. Although I'm not much into the accent wall/painting thing, in my opinion I would go with sage on the lower wall and a light cream color on the top.

wtnhunt Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks good Ben. I got to do a turkey mount for Christina's bird sometime soon, she wanted a full strut mount unfortunately that is not in the budget right now. Considering one of those fan mounts that uses a partial body, maybe something like this Cabela's: Van Dyke's Lifelike Turkey Tail Kit.

The_Kat Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 A dark crimson color or a dark green would look good. Nice looking critters ya go there. Oh and....paper towel much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Looks great Ben - gotta agree with Elkoholic on the Sage and Cream but make sure to use Flat for the Sage and semi-gloss for the cream above the ledge and Gloss cream for the door trim and any other trim. The flat for the main walls will make your mounts really pop and give them depth against the wall. If my office didn't already have the paneling, it would be Flat Sage with a hint of chalk yellow and then Gloss Cream for all the trim. ( 24 years as a color analyst in the commercial print sector.)

Heck, this thread is how many months old and I still havent done anything to them. There is too much stuff on them now to paint them anyways and now its hunting season, my priorities do not lay on the color of the walls. PS. Steve....I'm working on it...

Adjam5 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 It looks really great Ben. I agree on the possible color change to bring out the hidden stuff...but I have to tell ya. As an electrician...you need some accent lighting. It could even double for mood lighting when you have your groove on:kiss:. Lighting makes a difference. Some track lighting or wall washer hi hats would work well. That ledge is perfect for decorating with game animals and their parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
