Lots of good ideas here. I need to tap into other people's creative juices more often!! The one thing I will say, is that if you do pictures, consider only putting pictures of you and Scott up in your bedroom. I read once that your bedroom should not have pictures of your children or family only of the couple because that is your sanctuary as a couple. I think this makes sense and it's what I've done in our bedroom. The rest of the house is devoted to family, but the bedroom is just ours!

My 2 cents worth...

Since you are in a rental and probably don't want to put a lot of holes in the walls, get a large tapestry with some cool colors and kinds fits with your bedding (or even just some cool fabric), and hang it on the wall with a curtain rod or something. helps to make a big impact in a room, without a lot of nailholes, and if you scour the deals and things, it can be cheap. If you do the fabric thing, you can even make three panels of the fabric, and that makes it a pretty impressive art/decoration piece.

I LOVE the frame wall too. We are working on one in our hall. I want to put iron crosses in with the frames too. That would be really pretty! And, with your photography, you would have amazing pictures!!!

Love the frame wall idea.

You could hang a long shelf and lean picture frames on it.

Or for art on the cheap, get an oversized canvas from the craft store (with a coupon!) and paint something cool and meaningful, like C&S or your anniversary date. (Print large letters on printer, trace them onto clear contact paper, stick onto the canvas and paint over them. Once the paint dries, peel off the letters and touch up with a small brush.)

Can't wait to see what you come up with!
