Displaying Rock Art: How Much is Too Much?

As a musician, I appreciate rock art. I once interned at Rolling Stone magazine, and being surrounded by wall-sized, signed Beatles lithographs, or paintings of Bob Dylan, was one of the perks. In my own home, I am constantly putting up rock photos: shots of Pete Doherty are displayed next to dot-matrix art of my parents summering at the shore in their youth. I feel like I've found a happy middle ground between too much and just enough, but the truth is there are so many more photos I would showcase if I didn't think my home would end up looking like a Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame knockoff!

Integrating iconic photography into a home's design is a fun and fresh challenge. Here are some of my favorite examples of well-executed rooms, rock art, or photographs I enjoy. What are your favorites?

This is a wall sconce! Very modern and fun. Imagine a long hallway lined with different quotes like this? Via Flickr.

Ramones window shades are fun for mega-modern music lovers. Buy them here!

    Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your site in internet explorer,
    could check this? IE still is the marketplace leader and a huge section
    of people will omit your magnificent writing because
    of this problem.

    I do agree with all the ideas you have presented for your post.
    They're really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

    Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware
    of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
