There’s no excuse for 1) empty walls or 2) cheap posters tacked\/taped to the wall. \u00a0I see both all too often, especially among the under-40 crowd. \u00a0My advice, no my command: get yourselves to some occasional sales!! \u00a0There’s a wide selection, so you’ll fall in love with something<\/em> – maybe several somethings!<\/p>\n

Do check out the selection of original art at the occasional sales – there’s plenty of it, and all that I’ve seen is incredibly well-priced (most under $100 including frame)!<\/p>\n

And if you don’t have the good fortune to be in the Twin Cities area, check out garage sales, thrift stores, vintage shops…<\/p>\n
