SteveAJones Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Here's a few ideas for you Steve. How about some memorabilia from some of Zep's famous stays including The Edgewater Inn and The Continental Hyatt House. Not sure how you could locate these things, but since it seems you're well connected, I have faith in you. Other good ones would be from the Royal Orleans and from their stays in Japan where they caused quite a ruckus. Unfortunately all of the hotels you've mentioned have undergone extensive renovations since the Led Zeppelin era. I was at the Royal Orleans in October. I do recall they threw a refrigerator off the balcony of the Edgewater Inn and Peter Grant (if I'm not mistaken) went livid because he had several bottles of wine inside it. If they can find the Titanic they can find that fridge! Hoe Kasabe may have some nice mementos from the Japanese tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just some napkins, coasters or anything else from these hotels that has their name on it would be good. If you find something quite unique, then even better. Now don't forget the shark tank!

SuperDave Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think making a post of all the items you're heavily considering for this room would be a good idea. Put them in some sort of sensible order. Also a general design of the room would be good too. The farther along you get, the more specific you can be.

If they can find the Titanic they can find that fridge! According to Cole, it was Robert. And according to Cole, some fishermen also immediately took it out of the water.

Cecil. Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 A large floor cushion & a good record player would do for me, like the bar idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledrim Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Funny that someone should post this topic. I'm in the Home Theater industry and had once created a very quick rendering of a Zeppelin themed theater to illustrate to people that we can produce any kind of themed room. The image on the left wall is basically a 3-D version of the inside of Zeppelin II plus some other Zeppelin symbols thrown in that I've created.

I'm gonna have to re think my original idea. this is a great thread for spurring the old imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'm going to redesign my entire idea and come back to post it because I've gotten some good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I was doing some work in a 10 million dollar home a couple of years ago, and they had (among other things) a movie theater with a celing that looked like a sky full of stars. That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 There would be lots of jewel tones (reds, rich blues, greens, golds etc.) with a Moroccan/clubby feel to the decor. Fluffy scatter rugs and interestingly shaped chairs and sofas you could sink into, in groupings, with lots of pillows. Not too matchy but very comfortable. The killer sound system, plasma tv, bar, complete audio/DVD collection would be there of course; with memorabilia throughout (I would put smaller things like ticket stubs, pins, photos, etc. under glass along the bar; and maybe make some collages to put around the room; framing larger things-posters, t-shirts, programs etc.; for the walls).

Slidin' Thru Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Last week I got a pool table installed in my basement, ending about a 20-year drought of not owning one, and the first piece of artwork I put up was the Song Remains the Same poster I got with the DVD. Next I will be ordering the Zeppelin pool cue, which will look incredibly cool in the wall rack. Next will be the installation of a TV so I can put on the Zep DVD and TSRTS and hone my draw shot at the same time! Gotta get those Zep beer glasses too, now that I think of it. I'll just keep adding stuff...it's going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 A couple of months ago i saw this segment on cnbc, on a speaker company from kansas which developed some material for a speaker system. The base looks like a regular speaker and on top is this material between two stands. Apparently these speakers are amazing and the company saw soemthing like 250% growth last year. Only thing is, the cheapest set of speakers they sell is $20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 My Zeppelin Room would have the best audio system money could buy plus all 4 walls covered with video monitors that could change the ambiance in a second- you could have 1 wall each dedicated to a Zepper, showing various images of them in shows, backstage & home life. And then the monitors would change- you could then pretend that you were at MSG in July 73 by having the front wall playing the TSRTS movie while the other 3 walls showed the audience next to & in back of you (of course a special panel in the ceiling would open & a mirror ball would come out) & the same thing with the Earls Court & Knebworth portions of DVD. If only money was no object :sigh: (gotta play Mega Millions on Tuesday- $220 million jackpot!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Steve, You will need one more beer tap for the bar. Please save a space for the Belgian White Summer Wheat Ale. No Zeppelin lounge will feel complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Zeppelin lounge will feel complete. "Hoegaarden" on tap would do the trick ,, "Blue Moon" would work as well. My room needs to get a whole lot bigger than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
