Grand Plans for "The Richard Room"

In response to the "Confessions" post last week
(where I mentioned I only own one RA item),

blog reader littlevictories made the following comment:

Nat, are you kidding me? I've always pictured you getting ready to write your blog sitting in your "Richard Room" surrounded by all of his works (including the most obscure) with a GoG action figure on your lap, wearing a Harry Sweater (and perhaps some Lee-like Speedos), polishing a Porter pistol, leaning back on a pillow with RA's face cross-stitched on the fabric while admiring your life-sized wax figure of John Thornton and watching N&S on television (all this after assembling with your congregation of RA converts). Now that image is shattered.

After laughing out loud,
I realized LV is on to something there!

I will be informing my husband that when we build a new
house next year, I NEED a "Richard Room" equipped
with everything listed above.  (I mean, why would I want a
boring sewing/craft room or worse, a fishing room/man-cave
when I could have a beloved Richard Room!?)

All I have to do is start collecting the stuff to supply such a shrine.

Let's see...
aside from the obvious,
(my computer desk and computer for RA blogging, etc.),
I will need to round up the following:

A "Harry Sweater" to wear in this room,
which must be striped and fuzzy.

Here's a feminine version from Old Navy:

Why did Harry have to wear horizontal stripes?
That's not going to help my figure, although

I will feel so warm and cozy... like Harry.

Plus, a "Lee-like Speedo"

to wear at the same time as the Harry sweater:

$34.00 for a tiny piece of spandex!?

Sweater + speedo...
I may be onto a new fashion trend.

I'll alternate the above ensemble with my

"I found my thrill at Marlborough Mills" t-shirt

which I'll wear while sipping from

"The Helstone-Milton Line" mug.

(Both available here.)

Anyone know where I can get a Little Guy action figure

and/or pillow featuring RA's cross-stitched face?
I have a feeling those things are hard to come across.

(Any cross-stitchers want to volunteer for this project?)

At least I know someone has made an RA rag doll

I can add to my collection... even though I find it a bit creepy.

And THIS etsy seller has RA pendants available,

which is a must-have for any Richard space.

I will be contacting Madame Tussauds ASAP

to have the following likeness immortalized

into my own personal wax figure:

Not cut off at the knees, though.

And it has to be life-sized.

If I'm going to have a JT wax figure,

I might as well own the original Gisborne costume,

which was on display at Nottingham castle a while ago.

I'll need a place to store my future

giant collection of ALL Richard Armitage's work...

somewhere high where grubby little hands can't reach.

How about something like this?

It could hang right next to my framed,

hand-painted portrait of this:

(My favorite RA shot.)

It will be oil on canvas, with

special studio lighting shining on it, of course.
Like this one...

but with Richard's handsome face
instead of some wig-wearing guy who looks French
 and is probably famous but I don't recognize.

I'd need a sturdy gun cabinet to store
all of my Porter and Lucas guns when I'm not polishing
them. (Safety is a must when it comes to fire arms, you know!)

Speaking of safety (and on on second thought of that husband
+ owners of the little hands mentioned before) I will have to
have some kind of laser security system in place to make
sure no trespassers (aka: non-RA-lovers)
enter the sanctuary.

There must be a HUGE flat screen to watch all of my
Richard movies, so I can see every detail of his gorgeousness.

And I'll need an old, comfy chair like John Standring's
to sit in while I enjoy those movies.

In fact, I want that exact chair.
Do you think RA's bum print is still
intact after all these years!?

Hmm...
I wonder how much all of this stuff is going to cost?
Some things are just priceless. :)

What goodies would YOU stock in your Richard Room?
