No, in my "home office", I have the "The Hits" poster framed and a basket that displays books about Prince, next to my 2 scrapbooks on an 'end table'(one has a purple paisley cover). It irritates me when people call it a "Shrine". My music is also in this room, so that's where I keep music-related things.

I have a friend who literally has a whole room devoted to him- every wall is covered, the closet is full of Prince/prince clothing, a display case w/ paraphrenalia, framed photos, the screensaver changing on her computer screen... eek

I sure do! Growing up in the 80's I was never allowed to listen 2 Prince or have any posters...So as an adult I do collect Prince memorabilia. I've got tour posters from each tour framed along with other things. The room doesn't look all "ratty" but I think everything looks good framed or mounted on board...Aloha~

I have a Prince cupboard (closet if you want to call it that)
Ive rigged it so whenever you open the door a purple light comes on and Purple Rain is played through a little stereo.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Not so much as a whole room anymore, did that when I was younger.

Now I just have framed posters strategically placed. One in my living room, one in the lobby of my studio, one in my office at my studio, and this one in a 5x7 frame on my desk.



I may need to use that musical alarm idea on it though because my Prince loving clients keep trying to walk away with it! lol

It's silly, yes, but I do have a Prince room: it's the downstairs bathroom. There are some pics on my blog... though I have added stuff since then. If you want to see, follow the link and go to June 7, 2005.

Hell No!
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

In my current house I have a couple of posters in a spare room, but as a teenager in my parent's house, my walls were totally covered in Prince!

Even my cupboard door had little cut-outs of pictures from magazines like Number One and Smash Hits, like a collage. Up the side I had those great middle spread posters from Controversy magazine. Very proud of it, so I was.

I do have a picture somewhere in my archive, if I manage to get it scanned I'll post it here.

I would love to do something classy now that I'm more mature - framed pictures is where it's at..have to do something, really.

I was thinking about it..until I read this thread.

I have a lot of vinyl and other things that have value and it would do them a lot of good instead of having it on a shelf or in boxes. Magazines, books, whatever.

Son't even mention my boxes of posters. It would kill some die hard collecters what is just sitting in there.

I guess I could make a "Prince Room" and next time a thread comes up asking if I have a "Prince Room", I will just say i was thinking about it....until I read this thread. wink

I have a big purple cabinet that I made a few years back to store all my Prince CDs. I used to have all the posters up all over the walls, but I took them down recently (getting a little too old for that stuff lol)

redface We have something Princey in every room of our house. In addition to this, we have one room that is VERY Prince inspired. I'm realizing I don't have pics of it on this computer, so I'll be back later to post a few...

When I was younger yes my whole room was Prince. But know that I'm grown and have my own house not so much. I do have the UTCM movie poster framed and you can see all my CD's and DVD's and VHS on display. The rest is in storage containers in the closet.
