I'm mostly torn between Days and Gilded I think. My room is just a standard dorm room in our fraternity but I have a double to myself, so I'll be carpeting over the disgusting tile with something white, a black shag area rug on top of that, with mostly dark furniture. I'm looking for something that will make the wall "pop".
So, I taped up the dimensions of Days Gone By and sadly, it's just too small. Since I refuse to put one of these up and then surround it by cliche college posters, I would just be left with a ton of negative space. The 45"x32" images aren't that much larger, but their height, and the ability to create a little more extra width through the spacing (more panels) make them the size I think I need to go with.
Gilded Bronze has the color, shape, and size I'm looking for, but for some reason it's not as appealing to me now as it was when I found it. I'm kind of getting pulled toward Ravine now.
We can't paint, or if we do, I guess we'd have to repaint stuff white at the end of the year, which would be too much extra crap to deal with.
As for the negative space, I've kind of got the minimalist thing going on with my furniture and set up already, I want whatever piece I put up on this wall to sort of be a highlight.

I found them by googling around when I was bored. There are a few different "stores" on ebay but I can't seem to find the address again at the moment. Try searching for giclee digital modern art and see what comes up. I remember it being somewhere other than the first page of hits.
Don't get a plasma screen, especially a used one, complete waste of money. Also I can't edit your poll to move it off the front page, it clears the poll options and gives me an error, which is why I was asking if you were through needing opinions. >_>
Haha. Yeah I just hit "create a poll" without looking around. At least everyone got to see it! And yes, I'm done. Still have no idea what I want to get. And it's not used, it's probably just stolen. Actually, I don't even know if it's a plasma screen.

Sat, 06/09/2007 - 11:53pmI am not a big fan of the differential heights thing, and I'm a big fan of water and lonely docks, so I'm all about Days Gone By.
