Take a long, hard look at that massive wall of absolutely nothing in your home.

We all have at least one wall in our houses that we walk by everyday that we know needs something a little more exciting. Is it just kind of bleh? Old & busted art? No art? Negative space trying to pose as invisible art. Too …
