Here's a take on artwork that doesn't just go "on" your wall, it becomes your wall.

This is a great tip I got from Jane Mount, who was a 3rd place finisher in our 2006 Smallest Coolest Apartment Contest. She wanted to give her bedroom the feeling of a "cozy thicket" and create a space that was a retreat from the rest of the apartment. Being a designer with a good sense of humor and plenty of DIY experience, she covered her bedroom closets (Ikea) with a huge mural that she had made by a company called Gallery Street in Roswell, Georgia (above - the other direction is below).

The picture of the forest is her own. She just emailed them the file and they send back the mural in the size requested.

All images are printed on commercial grade wallpaper, are fade and scratch resistant, wipeable and can come in any size you like. Prices are around $15 per square foot. Enjoy the goofy pics below and think of your own possibilities!
