Do you have pictures, mirrors, posters, stick-its or whatever on your walls?

If pictures what are they?

I try to collect prints of places I visit to remind me of happy holidays etc. I also have loads of framed pictures that my kids have done and also pieces of writing.

My walls are plain as I can't stand busy wallpaper. Whats yours like?

Just took delivery of this painting from Norway, looks like someone screaming, got it on eBay... :suspect: :heyhey:

I'm not a huge fan of wallpaper so all walls are plain painted. I'm not a 'fussy' person in general so have few pictures on my walls.

Kitchen has picture and things the kids have made/drawn/painted.

Living room has two pics of the kids, one round mosaic framed mirror and a poster of the cycles of the moon.

Bedroom has a Torture Garden May Fetish Ball Poster (from when they came to The Casbah in 2001) a Clangers Calendar and a big soft Hong Kong Phooey Hot water bottle cover!!

My bathroom has a lovely piece of hand tie dyed somalian material on one wall.

Thats it.

Not one for ornaments or 'dusties' as a friend used to call them ('cos all they do is collect dust!!). I guess I have simple taste really.

I have a massive panorama of New York Harbour, a japanese flag, a union jack, gig tickets/playlists/plectrums (all from respective gigs) and a Mull Historical Society Poster

Nice one Geoff :D

I have these.. Pictures of the musical LION KING which my daughter copied and drew from a brochure. Two calligraphic works which too she wrote, the characters mean freedom and heartsease. A picture of angels somewhat dull coloured for angel. A cuckoo clock of which cuckoo is turned off because it would never fail to startle us. and all that..

Red walls, One large mirror above fireplace, no pictures up yet as all are being framed.

kitchen, various childrens paintings.

One very large angel picture (cupidon by bougereau) above my stairs.

In the room I use as a study, there's various bits and bobs.

A cork board with lots of bits and pieces on - including a quote from Richard Feynman, a clipping indicating why Homer SImpson is a great role model, gig tickets, postcards from friends, a 'Reservoir Cats' greeting card, picture of the late, great 'Tom', one of our cats.
A couple of radio QSL cards
My amateur radio certificate and MBA
Some post-its with bright ideas for writing.
A photograph of me on the Alaska Highway
A lot of blue tack marks.

In fact, the MBA certificate is like the photo in the 10cc song - hiding nasty stains.....:)

I have Photographs of my kids & grandkids & some water colours I did a few years ago.

In the room i am sitting in now there is:-

An oil painting of cherry blossom by my grandfather.

An RNLI calendar.

A photo of my mum and dads old dog Sam.

An illustration of Noggin the Nog and Nooka by Peter Firmin.

A 3D version of Miffy on the beach that i did in Bryce ages ago.

Loads of postcards, pictures and doodles lying around on my desk also, but they arent on walls so dont really count. :)

i have maps on one wall, window on another, and a climbing wall across the other two :]!

A nice big Edward Hopper.

At work.... grey walls and a TO DO list that is growing by the minute!

At home....living room has cream and light chocolate walls, a huge silver framed mirror on one wall, a Monet print of Venice on another.

I have lots of pictures of Sheffield scenes and buildings, especially local pubs, dotted around the walls in my home.

They were all painted or or drawn by myself in the early nineties when I seriously contemplated taking up this kind of work full-time.

I sold 'pub portraits' to many of the local licencees, some of which can still be seen in the local pubs.

Other pictures in my house consist of my wife's tapestries and cross-stitch masterpieces.

Oh, and there are some impressionist paintings by Paula Nightingale on the staircase.

Been in the States for 40 years now, most of my pictures are from England, my favorite is a small oil painting of Foggatt Bridge that my mom gave me 30 years ago, two others i treasure are pencil scetches of Sheff University and Sheff Town Hall, also a big oil painting my husband bought in Coles 40 years ago, very unusual as it's of a ship on the high seas, but at night time, very dark looking, i have i museum light over it, we get a lot of compliments on it.

Sam, did you know Conrad Lorenz (local artist from netheredge, not the philosopher!) He used to to paint and draw similar sort of work you describe. We both used to (amongst others) sell our work outside endcliffe park roundabout on sundays at the 'artists corner' I made a 'part time' living on it ;)

I have picture from Constable on my walls, re-prints of course.
I have my German Shepherd from 1992.

Is he stuffed and mounted? lol!!

my family, pets, and close friends are on my living room walls along with my childrens first proper pictures they drew, and a picture painted of my daughter by a very talented person that lives in Iraq that my son had done, while he was out there.

On my landing I have all the certificates my children have achieved, the compete who has the most.

In my bedroom I have Nigel Mansell, amongst others.

My daughter has her walls covered with her drawings and posters and in my sons bedroom (aged 15) he has pictures of undressed women.

I actuually don`t have enough room for all the pictures.

I have some Helmet Newton prints on my room down here - though I'm looking at printing out some of my own photos and putting those up too :)
