Depends on the room. The living room has some nice framed artwork, including some artsy B&W photos I took a few years ago. Ro's corner of the rec room has space to hang a bunch of her artwork, as well as a large whiteboard I put up for her. And a lot of the house has a mix of family photos and pictures that basically look nice.

What you guys would find most interesting would be the computer room/office, where I have framed computer ads from the 80s, featuring Shatner (VIC-20), Bill Cosby (TI) and Isaac Asimov (TRS-80). I also have a few of my best news photos framed (accidents, fires, funnel cloud), and a framed photo of my dad as chief of police in my hometown, circa 1970. I always liked that shot. He's sitting at his desk with the town's five officers and his secretary standing around him. He'd be about the age I am now. The office also has the big bookcases, covering most of one wall.

The rec room is pretty much movie themed. The racks of tapes, DVDs and CDs dominate one side, and the walls include plaque-mounted one-sheets of Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Gone with the Wind, along with a sort of boxed arrangement of film reels I put together a few years ago, and framed movie stills with the likes of Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland and Don Knotts.

I have a large mural of a dragon holding a sceptre and orb on one wall of our den, it was painted by our daughter. The rest of the house is pretty normal, pictures, paintings etc.

Oh, that sounds neat!  You'll have to put up a picture of that some time.

So most of our decor is in the common area of our suite:




I'm curious, what's the picture with the kitten say?  And is that Space Invaders I see on the other poster?

Wow... who picked out the wall coloring?

Oh, true story: they did an experiment with a bunch of weight lifters where they put them in a room where the walls were all colored pink, and, for some reason, they found the lifters couldn't seem to lift as much as they'd normally do.

But then there was the experiment where it had a calming effect on inmates, so it's all good. Looks like a cozy place to curl up in front of the cactus with a bottle of booze. TeddyR

BTM -- the kitten poster is a Demotivator that says "GIVE UP: At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like a bigger loser," and the Space Invaders poster is a framed list of "things I learned from video games."

The opposite corner of the room is a complete, almost complete, contrast to the artwork. Though it is mostly a shelf with my computer books, shortwave equipment, lavalamp, and (my pride and joy) pyramid energy kits; on the wall, I have my Zombie clock, Leatherface figure and Mole Man figure. They just all fit so well together. TeddyR

Ah, I had forgotten to mention the vintage toys and action figures I used as accents on my movie shelves for a while. Gave up on that when the kid got old enough to appropriate them. It's not uncommon for her to be making up some little pretend game that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Davey and Goliath and a Cylon Centurion, along with whatever My Little Ponies and whatnot she happens to be playing with. I'd take them back, but it just makes me too darn proud seeing her walking Arnie around on the carpet. Smile

You collect My Little Ponies too?

You need to add a Leatherface doll to the collection. Nothing says joy like chainsawing off Arny's head. Drink

Actually, I have more than paint on my walls.
It isn't much, but here's what I have...

A Daniel Kime framed print. 
At my old building, I went down to the basement to throw some trash out and someone had thrown this print out.  They'd left it leaning against the garbage bin.  I thought it looked cool so I took it.
http://www.danielkimeart.com/
It's on the wall above my couch.


I also have this metal Kamel Cigarettes sign:
Several people have offered to buy it from me over the years.
It's showing its age.  It used to be white.  Now it's a shade of yellow.  Probably from my cigar smoke.


And near the top of the stairs, I have this small print I got from Blockbuster for 50 cents.



About that Kime print...
I'll give 5 karma to the first person who can tell me the name of that painting and provide a link to verify it.
I've searched all over the internet and can't seem to find it.
And Kime's gallery on his site isn't working so I can't look there, either.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
