What is on your walls?
 

What do you have on your walls that you especially like?

I have a baseball mural in my room that takes up a whole wall. The view is from the outfield looking to home plate, and it definitely draws the most comments from friends/visitiors that see my room.

I used to also have a lot of posters and some painting, but lately my walls have become quite bare. I have two prints of Henri Rousseau, but other than that just boring old wallpaper.

What's on your wall(s)?

I've got a large painting the my father-in-law brought back from Germany back in something like 1970 or so when he was stationed there for a while. It's a fall scene from a lake surrounded by pine and deciduous trees and a stream with rapids flowing from it. I've tried to find out about the painter but haven't found much. It's SPEIER all in caps with a line underneath. I love it. Also have several pencil, pastel drawings of birds on another wall, One each of goldfinch, bluebird, morning dove and an all blue bird that I just blanked out on the name. Hubby's got the bedroom to himself pretty much - Has 5 pics of Earnhart, a framed newpaper front page with him after he died (in the hall), a replica scaled down car hood of #3 and one large #3 throw that I fixed to hang on the wall.

my wife has stuck family pictures everywhere. I tried to put a painting up that I had before we got married and I got yelled at!

Daval,
I just got a girlfriend and right now I'm looking at framed posters of vintage Vogue magazine covers and Winnie the Pooh. If I slip her a ring I think the room will end up pink. :(

My Walls are pretty bare, I have them painted with pictures of my children on them.

How sad is this....i cant remember for the life of me whats on my walls at home. I guess i never really pay attention. I know theres stuff there though. Here ive got phone lists, email lists, fruit availability, truck schedules, lots and lots of sticky notes

Two smaller posters, one with medieval paintings, and another with Anne Geddes babies dressed as angels
The wall next to that has a huge Two Towers poster, and a bullitin board
My roomate has a couple random Christianish posters on her side of the room
And then I have two really small posters of a kitten, and one of a tiger

I think that about covers it :)
I probably have more at home, but I can't think of them now.

I have a poster of U2, a Harry Potter calendar, pictures of Michael Vartan, a map of Paris, postcards of Paris, a giant poster of Legolas, a giant poster of Aragorn, and a poster of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli as well as pictures of Viggo Mortensen. :) I like my room. It's full of hotties ;)

We have this stupid nerdy kid that comes over to play and he has a bad habit of picking his nose. He then use's my wall to display his treasures! So i quess i have some bogies on my walls!

My walls are pretty bare. They aren't even painted. My room was built for me when I was about 14 in the basement, and I haven't gotten around to painting it yet. Yes, almost five years. I painted one wall, ran out of paint, and said "I'll go get some more tomorrow." I never did, and probably never will. My brother gets the room when I move out (hopefully within the next year), so I'll let him paint it when he gets there.

I'm a lazy, lazy man.

I have a bulletin board to the right of my computer that I stick stuff on. Mainly comic strips I laughed at and small newspaper articles.

Drywall and paint. I like to keep my room simple.

Right now I am in limbo between places of living... so my walls are unsually bare...

Paint. And a couple paintings.

The steps - three paintings of Venice, Italy by Dad.

The bedroom - A huge gold framed mirror, a print of a Grecian urn.

Hallway, various pics of the kids.

The playroom - Murals of Hewey, Duey and Louie, Goofy, Pluto, Simba, Puumba, Timone, Daisy Duck, Mickey Mouse dressed as a cowboy on a horse.

Green room/office - framed Georgia O'keefe print, antique gold framed mirror.

Dining room - Wainscot below chair rail with dark floral wallpaper in the frames, some huge floral framed print.

Kitchen - a huge disc, probably 3.5 feet across, black with some gold paisley things, hanging in a 4 x 4 insert built into the wall. (If you stand in the right place, it bounces the sound of your voice back to you. Weird, especially if you've caught a buzz)

Framed posters of Salvidor Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus, Soft Watch at the Moment of First Explosion, Idylle Atomique et Uranique Melacolique, and Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach. Also, soon, a framed poster of a work by MC Escher which I don't know the title of.

At home I have a signed and framed picture of Tony Amonte on ice, a signed and framed picture of Wil Wheaton, a metal street sign that says something along the lines of "Hawks parking only, all others will be slashed," I think a few other things, and on the cieling a very very large poster of the Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation which a friend of my brothers gave me probably about 7 years ago or so.

Unfortunately no, it's just a cheap replica... although I probably could hit someone with it a few times before it breaks :D

Putting on a demonstration would be fun though :)

i have quite a bit of wall space in my bedroom.
on the walls i have framed, etchings by Arthur Boyd, Charles Blackman and Norman Lindsay.
I also have a small watercolour of Norfolk Island (home) above my desk.
i also have a small mirror on the eastern wall.
