Question by rtutbatt: Wall decor for living room…?
I have a rather large blank wall in my living room that I am needing to fill. It has no windows, no tv, only a small tree and table with lamp. I wasn’t wanting a run of the mill picture or mirror that can be bought at any store, instead i was wanting something unique (other than personal photos) i need to take up quite a bit of room here…any ideas?

I’m a big fan of etsy, where you buy from independent artists.
Not knowing your colors or themes, it is hard to make a suggestion. But remember to either go very big or get a grouping of similar objects. Prints and other artwork generally look better if they are framed with a white matte, unless they are ready to hang canvases.
A few ideas:
Nice for an earth toned room: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25474219
Nice for a room that already has some lime green: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25895805
A grouping of prints from this artist would look nice in a traditional room: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5799581
Good for a more rustic room: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5564092&&ga_search_query=mirror+ribbon&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
Great for a family with kids : http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16039878
(the artist is on vacation until August, but you can look through her sold items. I know she will also make 11×14 versions, which would do a better job of filling up that wall)
Another thing I like is vintage travel posters. I really prefer ones from places you’ve already visited so they have personal meaning. All posters will also custom frame it for you.
