Great idea...if you had made color copies of the posters. That way if you move, then you can replicate the posters again if you so chose for wallpaper at your new place. Either way it looks pretty badass, but I just couldn't have done what you just did. Pretty ballsy.
This is kind of the stone that I want to put now in my house and you cover it with plywood
I need that wall

no no ... im placing the stone over the plywood ..... the company that makes the product is called NORSTONE they are based out of florida .. i have seen this product used in the houses i build out on the east end of long island .. its amazing in person ..and not to expensive either

im not moving anytime soon ... this was my grandmothers house.. i also grew up in it and now its mine .. so it has some family history in it ...
i was going to use stone till i got the quote ($1200) .... instead im using scraps of wood to get the same look .. once on they will be sanded /primed and painted with a high glossy white finish
took me 4 hours to cut all the pieces and another 4 hours to get this far ..... I HAVE ANOTHER SIDE I NEED TO DO 10 hours each side
I like this - you are using them for their intended purpose - hanging and viewing as art, instead of just considering them money in poster form.

I think it looks cool, and as long as your happy with it and will enjoy the space, that's worth more than any dollar amount anybody else wants to put on it. If people get enjoyment out of purchasing and framing posters, that's fine too, but I give you props for putting up the photos and giving some of the collecting elite the opportunity to criticize you. I can't make up my mind if I find it more sad or funny, but you seem to be having fun with them. I'd probably be telling them if they don't like it, they can mind their own F--king business...

but i cant stress enough that NONE OF THE POSTERS im using are in "perfect shape" ... all the high value prints have some sort of issue/defect ... trust me i would have never don this with high priced prints ..
I block mount all my PJ prints. I guess to some that is "ruining" them, but I hang them as if they are pieces of art. I don't plan on just letting them sit in a room, "stored flat in a cool dry place" so I can sell them later.
Nice work man, looks great.

Love the idea. Isn't there still a lot to be done in there though? I'd have left mounting the posters till the end.
No paint behind either?
its hard to explain why i did the posters first ... i didnt feel like cutting the posters around the custom wood work i did . so i placed the posters on the walls first ..folded them around the corners so the wood would butt up against the posters .. i then placed a thin sheet of coil stock between the wood and the posters so when i paint the wood it wont get on the posters .. (last picture i posted) i have been brain storming the project for years now ..
today im going to finish the trim work . hang all the skateboards i have (10-12) ..frame and hang the 100+ handbills i own in 200 year old window sashes i got from a mansion in the Hamptons .. its really coming together
Wow, that's amazing Joe! I have to admit, I cringed looking at the posters glued to the wall, but to your point, they all had some flaws plus it sounds like you have the artists' blessing.
I wouldn't be able to do this..I'd stick one and totally convince myself I placed it all wrong and I'd be beating myself up over it
I am assuming that you will be staying in your place for a while. If not, you are going to need to sell it to another PJ fan. When you decide to move, maybe you can list your place on the Lost Dogs forum.

I think the artists you are showcasing would be proud.
I agree with the poster ripped three times-badass
All I could think when I saw the 1st after pic was,
"But... they're folded into corners-
AUGH!"
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Cheers.

Be sure to post the finished room!!
anyway... it looks great... nice work!!
you've got me considering doing my bar in this method... although I think I'd just do it in Pearl Jam prints... this could get pricey
