And what do you recommend to hang on walls, for decorative purposes, besides family photos?
Mine are blank and barren, an empty canvas for the maniacal decorator in me, after carefully negotiated with the family.
Lots of things. A Kramer poster, a backwards clock, a magic eye poster, a Larry Elmore print, a haunted house painting, a chime clock, a painting of Venice.
Absolutely nothing. Except for a small shelf that’s technically nailed to the wall but it’s painted in the same white as the wall so I’m not sure it counts.
Do spider webs count as decoration?
Only if you let me raise you my Router to your web
Right now, at this time of the year, yes.
Every month is spooktober if you live in an actual haunted house
So, like mine, which is nearly 100 years old and has a sketchy past.
Yes
Just the paint
Ahh, classic!
And that is valid. I’ve seen buckets of paint with such long price tags it made me wonder if was the price for the entire pallet.
Haha I have a tote of art in frames that I want to put up somewhere but never satisfied with how to arrange it so it just sits in the tote, plus the blank walls makes it feel bigger haha
Some bookcases downstairs, a mirror and then a selection of displates (art printed on metal, basically flush to wall and no horrible picture frames)
Art is a mixture of abstract, negative animal landscapes and abstract landscapes + one LotR Moria door above the staircase…

Occult Anatomy poster. Reefer Madness poster. That’s it.
Mechanical drawings of rockets or planes or computer components. Psychedelic UV tapestries. Pictures of cats. Soviet style space propaganda pictures.
Flyers & silkscreened posters by friends.
What are you doing with these old writing machine/PCs?
I collect old computers (mostly high-end 90s servers: Sun & SGI, but also some older things like that decwriter & tektronics graphics terminal) and I help run a computer museum, so I frequently have things on loan from the museum - either stuff I’m working on, or photographing.
I had this on loan from the museum a few years ago to get V7 Unix (circa 1979) running on it:

My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.
You should!
I have a lot of abstract paintings in my room. They’re not mine though. They’re a collection of my parents who have nowhere else to hang them.
I have a signed photos of Patrick Stewart and William Shatner. Nothing else lol, the rest of my walls are essentially bare. But, I’ve never been one for wall decor (somewhat of a minimalist), and the few items that are up weren’t chosen by me.
It’s always a fun conversation when I’m initially dating someone as to why those are up. Unfortunately, getting people you’re dating to watch Star Trek is harder than you would think. 🤣
Maps are a great form of cheap wall art, also estate sale auctions usually have alot of wall art for cheap.
