Less is more 2. Your own work is totally much more awesome than anything bought. 3. Don't overhang your walls; aka, don't feeling the need to fill up white walls if u don't want to or need to. 4. Check out tapestries, cool vintage fabric as wall-hangings, or literally drawing on the walls is always interesting. Personally I like it when a person's place reflects them. It's much more fun to share the space too, when it's like a part of yourself! Hope that helped! Cheers, Betsy And <a href="www.beccaschepps.com" rel="nofollow">Becca</a> offered these thoughts: A quick note on how to fill your walls: I recently found myself in the same predicament. First I contacted all my designer/photographer friends and asked them if I could hanging there stuff on my walls. Then I also flat our contacted all the designers websites that I had stored in my del.icio.us and asked if they had extra prints or anything lying around that I could purchase from them -- everyone's a starving artist. The latter was actually pretty cool, and I found out that some of the random designers I had bookmarked were actually in the area. And one of them and I are actually in the process of putting together an art show for Not-so-starving Artists (basically a lot art director/designer wishes they were artsists - so why not put a show together).. but now everything is on hold since my job situation is in flux and I might be moving out of the state. Anyway.. e-mail your friends and the people you admire and make them give you work. And then, if you can't afford to frame it, steal some binder clips from the supply room. I will give you a call soon. I'd love to continue to hear your thoughts. Becca* I’ve had a couple of responses to this post come in via alternative means, and I wanted to share them:

I definitely need to get some of my photos up. Have to get around to getting them printed. The small prints idea is interesting. Have to keep that in mind. Did you do the drawings in the first image in that album? Those are fun! Thanks Yuyu. I definitely need to get some of my photos up. Have to get around to getting them printed.

I was thinking maybe you could have all the photos print out in small format (like 2x3 or 3x4) , have lots lots repeats and tiled them up ( or puzzle them). Then you will ended up having a really cool poster for your wall. It's labor intensive but It's worth it!
