Wall art is great, it reduces clutter and gives residents & guests some cool visual stimulation. I lean toward nautical & Western decor in my home, but I also have some ultra-hip travel posters from Greece and other European countries. Those posters date back to the late '60s and early '70s: long before the web appeared, folks dealt with travel agents and those posters were freebies. Some airlines also gave away posters as freebies on certain flights. So my family amassed a good collection of these old Mediterranean travel posters, and I'm the guy who saved 'em all and put 'em to good use here at the ol' hacienda, lol. The photography in those posters is excellent, and in those days Greece and neighboring countries were still a Mediterranean paradise! The posters never fail to elicit favorable comments from guests, lol. I also have some old Western posters from 'Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid'---I'll have to share those with ya in a link, I already have an existing thread at another site which shows my style of decoration, lol. Lemme go find that link, it's worth seeing the primo travel posters from the Mediterranean, like some kinda time warp, lol...
Home Decor Thread
Edit: Okay, I found the link in record time, lol... usually it takes me awhile to dig up old threads at other websites. There's a glimpse of the decor at the ol' hacienda, some shots will show y'all how I've set up certain rooms. At some point in the future, I'll have to post a home tour thread here, just so y'all can see how I go about rehabbing older homes and making them cool and comfortable places to visit or dwell, lol. BTW, y'all can see some really cool ceramic tile art in that thread, stuff we picked up dirt cheap in Europe so long ago. That European tile art is awesome, some of the detail is incredible!
2nd Edit: After perusing that linked thread, I realize that I have other threads which show further decoration in my home, but I will lump all of those linked threads together when I get around to creating my own home decor thread here. It's important to note that I am FRUGAL when decorating my home, I use older stuff that has been in the family for decades, so I'm not wasting money on new decoration. Besides, much of the older stuff is BETTER than anything I could afford today, lol. Some of the decor in my home is "newer" stuff which I bought at thrift shops, but most of the nautical & Western art is stuff collected over the years by me and my family. I no longer get to sail the way I used to in San Diego Bay and offshore, so the nautical art serves a purpose: it reminds me of all the good times & heller party voyages I had with friends, and also as a solo sailor aboard my 14' Laser or 12' Minifish. ⛵
