Me and my girlfriend will be in the market for a house in the next year (ish) and i have just bought this picture as i thought it would look great on the lounge wall as a bold piece of modern art, so went ahead and bought it
Its 5 feet by 3 feet too, so not small
She says its NOT going on the lounge wall, i say it IS, but how do we compromise that it WILL go there

What does the scooby net massive think, will it look cool, or naff



Well?

Depending on the rest of the decor, I think it could look very good.

Would have something like that in my "boys room" but not for me in the main room must admit.

As Lisa says though decor/ style of room plays a big part.

its not just your misses house its your house too mate so i dont see why you aint got an excuse to not have it up .. put it on the wall i reckon bud

It's the sort of picture you see on the wall when the cops burst into a drug den - ok for a student flat or garage, not what i'd have in the main room of my place.

would look quite good in dell boys flat

Pulp fiction is my favorite ever film, and that particular scene just makes me smirk

I appreciate its not everyone cupp of tea, but with nice modern surroundings and massive sofas i reckon it'll look good

'Dell boys flat' wasn't the sort of look i had in mind, however i too feel i might be a millionaire this time next year

Then again maybe not

I agree with your missis - sorry!

Providing the surroundings allow, go for it. TBF, I bet the missus has plenty of stuff that doesn't float your boat around, that you have to put up with.

It's not my thing, but I think it could look good in the right setting.

I have my eye on a wicked present for her when we do get a house, and its really girly, but i know she'll love it and it will be a big feature she'll love

TBH all i really want from our house is neutral colors downstairs with that pic on the wall, a massive plasma Tv for the City vs United derbys, obviously
A power shower + kingsize bed (and a driveway for the car) thats pretty much it TBH, i dont mind about anything else

Tell her to mind her own business - she can put whatever she likes on her kitchen wall

Cool, you don't want much.

Glad to know you are accommodating her too, maybe that'll help get your feature up. Just tell her it's art, and everyone will love it and hope she'll cave in. She's a woman though, so good luck.

I'd say it's down to who is putting the money in to the place.

If you are both putting a 50:50 split down, then discuss it. If She is putting a bigger deposit down, then give in, on the other hand, if you are placing the major stake, then surely you should have the final say.

Not on the lounge wall

get it laminated into the floor

Well hard one this as Ive got a classic picture of all the famous horror characters out of all the top films - cost me £65.00 its a limited edition - I wanted it in the living room but she said no so its hanging in the spare room

You will need to bribe her me thinks

(hide the sharp implements in the kitchen before you do however!)

Not my taste, but why not toss a coin, or agree it can stay 2 weeks out of four? 10 to go.

i ve got signed framed pictures of michael schumacher, mike tyson and mohammed ali, all properly framed (matching) and wanted them in the lounge too, she said no and so they are all in the downstairs loo, with a blown up picture of when i got caught speeding (with the pulsar lagging behind in the same shot).
,
we now have some crappy, shadow, black and white stairway pictures up, mmmmmmm nice.

If the picture's in 3 parts, why not hang it in 3 different rooms, thus breaking up the 'overpowering' aspect of it.

davegtt

Had the same argument about putting signed football shirts on the wall. I never got round to putting them up in the last 18 months of living alone

It should be OK as long as you position a chair to the left of it where you can sit people you don't like that much..

speedymonkey

Quality, never thought of that

I shall use that as further ammo for the picture debate when i see her this evening

stilover

Ask her if she's read the Bible lately.
