So, your bedroom
Whats on the walls?

I have:
one wall devoted to maps of places I've traveled to.
a Decepticons poster
mounted classic x-men comics
a White Dwarf & a D&D poster
Some prints from movies (Eraserhead, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, Forbidden Planet & Attack Of The Crab Monsters)

And some art stuff

Your turn

3. Mirrors and eyebolts

Seriously: Some old Korean art my girlfriend's grandfather brought back from the war, a watercolor of my huskies done by an old, old friend, and a cool picture of my girlfriend and her daughter looking startlingly related. :)

4. Silk screen print of some cypress trees (think Northern California).
Also some stamped tin knights that have been in bedroom since I was a small child. Oh, and a pennant from my university that's probably 50 years old or so.

9. Funny you should ask......
Our bedroom is the last room to be decorated.....

nothing but paint on the walls.....but it's still a very pretty room..

That's the view room on our second floor.....One wall is nothing but sliding glass door and windows to our grand view southwards....

14. When I was really little I had a poster on my wall
that said "Fishes of the World" and then had a picture of each type of fish along with the common and scientific names and some facts. I think my mom got it free somewhere.

I would lay there in bed and stare at that poster and think, "Fishes? Fish? Fishes? Fish?"

I was a weird kid. :)

21. Mostly flyer's from local shows in the late 90's..
Most of them I helped make for local bands.. ( I have a few for Fifteen, Jawbreaker, I Spy, J Church, Piglet...ect....)

I have the wall of bad credit. Letters from collection agencies. (I have a few friends that have made major contributions to the project)

And I lighted poster box I stole from the movie theater I worked at. I put all the scraps of broken, burned, and stretched film from my years in the booth.

28. Ain't got much wall space
Edited on Tue Nov-29-05 08:33 PM by Oeditpus Rex
since the north wall is entirely closets and cabinets, the west wall is almost all windows and the east wall is largely obscured by the armoire that's home to the teevee, VCR, DVD player 'n' stuff.

That leaves the south wall, which is dominated by a large poster of a painting of James Dean on an old Triumph motorcycle with the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline in the background.



Edit to add: All the cool stuff's here in my office. :bounce:

31. never got around to decorating my on campus apt
so on my side of the room it's bare except for a magazine cover with Stephen Colbert on it (one of my roommates put it there) and on my roommates side of the room she has a Kill Bill poster, some poster with palm trees (I think its a Bacardi ad) and a James Dean poster. Its funny how freshman year I was all about having the perfect posters in the dorm but by senior year I just don't give a shit anymore.

As for my room at home...
2 posters of Jimi Hendrix
A U2 poster
A George Clooney poster
and the poster that is in my sig line of the 3 Kennedys

I'm disappointed in you.

Anyway, my walls:
Bigass "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" poster and a poster of Salvador Dali's "Les Elephants."

I left all my other posters back home by mistake.

After Christmas I want to paint a triptych (since I'm getting an easel and canvases for xmas) and maybe get some prints from deviantart.

Not a lot. Two paintings by my sweetie. A picture of some of his ancestors (great greats or something), a picture of a grandmother, picture from a white water rafting trip, picture of a sculpture outside his former art school and a picture of his cousin as a child. Last but not least: a picture of the round man who shall not be named. Everything but the paintings were there when I moved in. I had him hang the paintings when I got here.

Edited on Tue Nov-29-05 09:41 PM by GirlinContempt
and when I looked over he flipped his greasy ponytail behind his shoulder and winked at me.
I would have laughed but I was afraid he'd come over and try to act.

46. Room is wierd - not a lot of clear wall space,
so I only have two items, a framed print of two horses running together - one is black and the other white, the frame is black and the mat is maroon.

The other is this cool old picture that supposedly came from a saloon in Tomebstone.

50. Each wall has a pic of one of my kids as a baby or toddler,
family portrait is down because my oldest broke the frame. Husband's chest has pic of me in my wedding dress; my dresser has pic of my parents, my husband's nightstand has a pic of his parents.

Pretty conventional, huh? My kids have a 14ft x 8ft mural called Jungle Dream that I put up for them. Beautiful!

53. Actually, our ceiling is more interesting
The walls are Martha Stewart paint in Sunflower ;-). The ceiling was done by the following company: http://www.stellarvision.com. We have the midsummer night sky on our ceiling, complete with constellations and shooting stars. It really is soothing.

We'll be adding a print of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" when the quilt I'm making for our bed is finally finished; it's a Jacob's Ladder with fabrics that denote the moon and stars...:woohoo:

81. Hehe
I got 'em cheap as dirt in Chinatown. I used to go poster raiding there quite often, until I had to stop myself because I literally ran out of wall. :crazy:

I saw an absolutely gorgeous Advent Children scroll in one of the stores there recently, from the official wallpaper with Cloud and Sephiroth. Something HAS to come down off my walls dammit that's my OTP. :D I think I'm going to start rotating them, I haven't changed my posters in quite a while.

82. Lucky!
I have no local Chinatown to get posters from, so I'm stuck waiting for cons.

And if your walls are full, have you tried the ceiling yet? :P

While I'd prefer Vincent being near my bed ( :evilgrin: ), that sounds good.

And on a related note, I've finally figured out how to make Vincent's cape/cloak :woohoo: Perhaps if I have some fabric left over I'll try my hand at making a Vincent plushie XD

63. Small golden framed mirrors
from Bombay and a mahogany-framed print of "The Crystal Ball" by Waterhouse. (Did everyone know that the original painting contained a "skull" sitting on the table along side the ball. It offended someone at some point, and the skull was disguised behind the black window drapery -- painted over. A silk plant in a green and white yarn macrame hanging holder dresses the window and a candle in a glass hurricane graces the windowseat.

76. 4 walls:
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 12:53 AM by gwbsamoron
One wall is actually 75% window with the the rest being taken up by my wife's dresser mirror, and 3 of her hats. (Mounting the hats on the wall was my idea. It was a space near the bed, so we needed something light, as we are in California, and should not have anything heavy mounted near the bed in case of earthquake).

Wall #2 is the head of our bed. It is about 45% windows, and 3 light dolls.

Wall #3 is two doors and a giant sliding mirror-door of the closet

Wall #4 is about 20% window, 20% door, and 3 hanging framed items - two pictures and a country-craft thing.
