What's on your walls?

[V]

I have a nice print of Rundle Mountain printed on 1/8" aluminum. I'm a big fan of this guy.

A pair of traditional snowshoes?

I have a huge poster/mural that I haven't used cause I i would like to mount it somehow... The drymounting thing has me interested... can you do it yourself? or is there a place that does it? Michaels? It's huge so I'm going to imagine it'll cost me a lot.

My favourite wall hanging is a poster from Just for Laughs 1999. I spent the summer in Montreal and attended 4 of the 5 English Galas. Amazing experience. The poster has been to hell and back. It's wrinkled, torn in a corner, etc. I bought a poster frame for it about two years ago and now I find it has more character.

Alas I don't have it here in Fredericton with me. Right now I have pictures up on the walls. A few scenic pictures from Cape Breton, group pictures with friends, etc.

I'm a big fan of putting up your own work. It's original, and every picture has a story.

yea im a big fan of putting up my own stuff, but i like the map idea, would be cool. i mostly have pictures i have taken, a few flames/stamps signs, stuff from australia, a calendar and random things like cards and a certificate from australia. also a big flames flag in my room.

I love my maps. My walls are adorned by a World map, Canada map, USA map, Europe map, Rome map, Calgary map, a star map, Alberta/BC map, MD Rockeyview map, and a smaller world map that has landmarks drawn on the cities, such as their unique buildings. Calgary has the Calgary Tower and the Saddledome. Edmonton has nothing.
Some people think I'm a raging geek because of this, but I don't care. I once dumped a chick because she made fun of my maps. Her apartment had the aforementioned painting of a chair.

When I get my house finished I plan on having a huge world map in my office. Maps are cool.

I wasn't aware that wall decorations needed to be functional

I don't think they do, but I think it adds to the character of the room if they are.

Think of it as a gift or present you give someone. Functionality isn't a requirement, but often helps make a gift better.

Check out those two map places downtown. One is called map world, the other is map town. Can't remember which is which, but the one that's on center street and 6th ave has this wicked political world map that also has some topography on it that compliments it. It's pretty big (~6'x10'), and it's a couple hundred dollars to have it mounted permanently on plastic or wood, but it's really nice. It would not look at all geeky. It would look awesome in an office and be very useful for all those times when you hear a news story and you just want to see exactly where a place is, or, in your case, you'll be able to get a good idea of whichever place your employer is sending you off to.
I like to know a place's proximity to other countries, water, it's latitude (gives you an idea of what kind of climate), and just how far it is from Calgary.
And no, CMpunk, things on the wall don't need to be functional, it's just nice when they are. If I want to gaze at a cahir, I'll gaze at an actual chair.

I personally prefer to stare at olives stripping myself

Not much,

Just a couple of Monet's and Van Goh's

The map store downtown has many world maps. I have one in my office and I've put pins in all the places I've been. Here's a pic.



I believe they also have some prints of "old world" maps from past eras.

Who makes those? The same company that made my Sorny Dvd player, or my Panaphonics TV?

Put it in 'H'!

[troutman]

My sugar walls?

[malcolmk14]

A world map, with stickers on the cities I've visited.

Some Egyptian art.

[GrrlGoalie33]

We have a couple Bev Doolittle prints, a couple of photos from our wedding and a bunch of photos we've taken ourselves. It's pretty eclectic, but it suits us very well.

Blood, urine, and semen?

[disco_inferno]

I have 4 Micheal Godard prints (the oilve/martini guy) and a signed Lanny Mac retirement poster, I have 3 huge pics of Connie, Iggy, and Kipper that I';m working on getting printed and framed.
