My H and I bought our house a few years ago. I finally got around to putting some stuff on our bedroom walls last year (it was the only room we didn't decorate) but now I guess it all has to come down because it is mostly a gallery wall composed of our pictures and some cute sayings. What do you have hanging on your walls?
Living room/Dining room its all one HUGE space: Huge cluster of 3 canvases of a pic of me in a tutu on the beach at sunset. I am really a very small piece of this print and its more about the scenery A gryffindor lion sitting on all seven books from HP painted by a local artist A framed photo of my favorite bike trail at sunset in Dallas A frame that has pictures of me with each of my 4 best friends Canvas that says let it be I change this out seasonally but when its not holiday time its a local artists rendition of The Lorax and during the holidays its the same artists Grinch
Bedroom: A canvas of a photo I took over a lake in Dallas at Sunset A canvas of me from one of my boudoir photo shoots (its helpful on days when I feel icky)
This made me realize I have nothing on my walls. Just literally one painting I did above my couch. I'm terrible with decortating and don't seem to notice anything on walls whether it's blank or not. Maybe I should reconsider.
Behind my couch - I have a big wall clock thing (that doesn't keep time, lol)
I have a gallery wall that pictures of friends and family as well as a Harry Potter quote and an art piece that I made using a replica Harry Potter wand (its the Deathly Hallows sign)
I also have three prints...also from Harry Potter...from the Three Brothers story (my favorite)
Then in my "jiggle area" I have a couple pug prints.

I have some art prints, a funky image of brightly colored fish, an old sports pennant that my dad gave me and a few other funky knick knacks. I have more interesting stuff that isn't hung up and I have a few things that I've never actually hung up. I do have collections of porcelain masks both from New Orleans and from Venice. The ones from New Orleans are like the smiling and crying drama masks with elaborate decoration. The Venetian one is one of those partial face masks with a stick.
Honestly, I've left a lot blank when it comes to stuff for the walls. I'm not a big collector and I've kind of put off acquiring too much. I could stand to reorganize some of my space and stuff.
I'm adding that I've never been to New Orleans, those masks were a gift but I bought the Venetian one.

In my front entrance, I have this Paris board where you can put notes. It's beautiful.
I have a gallery wall that is mixed with pictures, paintings bought from travels, and words. In my kitchen, I have 3 sets of frames. In the living room, I have 3 pictures: 1 from Budapest, 1 form Prague, and 1 from New Orleans.

In my bedroom- a mirror, 2 cork boards that I use for hanging necklaces, a cat painting I got in Chile, a calendar, and an animal head necklace holder. I've got a ton of things to put up but I have no motivation to do so.
Living room - found some snarky but not profane postcards that are clustered here and there, and a big Ikea mirror. And a big print of DD and I on the beach. My bedroom - 5 or 6 pieces painted by various family members. I did not get this gene. But they stay in my bedroom so they're out of direct light. DD's bedroom - Kid stuff of the moment. Plant life poster. Hooks of dress up costumes. Big sunburst mirror.
My apartment has a photo gallery wall of my photos. And a vintage movie poster. The bedroom has one painting of ducks that I've had forever and used to make up stories about with my dad when I was little.
The house barely has anything on the walls which was always a major gripe of mine.
Living room - one wall is a framed quote, ("happiness is a day at the beach") with beach photos I've taken surrounding it (3 on each side) another wall above my tv/tv stand is a clock, and a pair of sconces with candles in them. Another one is a couple framed photos of my family. Above my fireplace is a large black & white print of a rose.
Dining room - framed photos I've bought from travels or markets.
Bedroom- a mirror above my dresser. And a full length mirror by my closet. And that's it. Searching for the perfect thing for above my headband.
Bathroom- 3 framed floral prints on one wall. A clock on the other.
Bear in mind I moved into his house and these were up before me. Living room : Shoulder mount deer head, European deer mount, photo of him and his deer, an outdoorsy painting, a duck scene. Dining room has a big mirror. Our bedroom has a canvas I bought from hobby lobby that says every day I love you.

Not a lot, which I want to change and add more. My roommate bought two really gorgeous pieces from Pier1 that hang in the living room. I have four small canvases that are multi-colored in the kitchen (no pictures and I'm lazy).
In my bedroom, I've focused on greens, blues, and purples, so the art reflects it:
Waterlilies at Sunset, 1915-1926 by Monet (minus the watermark, lol)
