My Living Room Walls are Pretty Bare

I'm just going to tell you, my living room is very naked!  When we moved into this house 2 years ago, I had no idea what to do with all of the walls!!  I'm not used to having higher ceilings and everything I had on my walls in the last house just got lost on the walls in the new house; too small.  So, the walls have sat there pretty much empty.  


Now, I still haven't done very much because I have been so unsure of what I wanted to do.  It's pretty funny really.  I've invited friends over & asked them what they would do, but have still remained pretty indecisive.

I put a mirror on the mantel:




Then, I put another mirror on the mantel:



Better right?

I hung some crosses up:




Last week I found something else!  I was shopping yard sales & found 3 mirrors for $10!  




Here they are hung:



OK, here's the whole room now (or least the most bare part):




I did not clean up for this pic.  Ha!  Real life folks!

It's too plain.  What would you do?  I can't decide at all.  There is nothing on the wall with the window or the wall with the TV.  Ideas?

    Buy a big canvas - or a really ugly painting at thrift store - paint it white or some other color you like and then let your kids go a bit wild with the paint. Really. That kind of art work can change often. The key is to go pretty big.

    My walls are pretty blank too but like Kylie said, a gallery wall is great! I've been collecting $1 frames from flea markets and will spray paint them the same color and then hang up! Can't wait to see what you come up with! And I love the real life photos! That is how my house looks with two kids too!

    Come check out my blog if you get the chance, I just started! http://polkadotfluff.blogspot.com
