Help Me Decorate my Walls

webmonarch · #1 10-03-2005, 11:33 AM

So, I just moved in to a new place in DC, and I finally live by myself. Problem is, the whole place is a big white wall. What are some cool ways to decorate walls that are pretty fun and not too expensive? I'm not opposed to posters and the like, but I'd like to do something a little bit different . . .

I don't want anything "dirty" like a whole wall full of naked chick picks, but beyond that I'm pretty much down for anything.

I KNOW the OOT has some hot ideas on this . . .

make everyone that comes in sign your wall, sure to get some interesting "decorations" with that.

I did this with my beater car once, ended up driving around with a couple of naked girls drawn on there...

and a cowboy, which I'm not too sure about.

Poker playing dogs and/or neon nudes.

I'm picking up some Ansel Adams prints for my apartment next week, but that's really style dependant.

I'm very partial to celtic/indian/asian wall tapestries, but thats also style dependant, and far from original.

When I get my own place I'm definitly going to make a wall of swords and knives, but thats friggin spendy.

My ideas suck, just blow up the art sammy1 posted and hang it up.

Paintings. You can find decent sized canvases on eBay for under $200.

And for someone with a U of Maryland avatar, you might be interested in paintings by a turtle. Those can be had for around $100, no problem.

My friend is an agreeable guy, and he'll probably do some art on contract if anyone is interested (and if I get a finder's fee [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

I think I've found a new occupation. Next stop, pet store and the art supply store.

That is dope though.

A "Scarface" poster, a "Metallica" poster, and a bunch of mirrors with beer insignias on them. I'm pretty sure that's never been done before.
