Need wall decor help...

I have this one big wall in my house that I just haven't been able to do anything with. Someone gave me one of those sets of frames. It has:

1 8x10
2 5x7
2 4x6
2 3x5
3 2x3

I need to paint the frames because they are light wood. That's not an issue. But I don't know what to put in them. I was thinking about buying a cheap book of old maps (saw one in Borders) or finding a book with birds or flowers, and cutting out pics. I don't really want to use photos because I have lots of those framed already.

I am open to other ideas. I am also wondering if I should just get one big piece of art.

I don't want to spend a lot. Also, my style is more country/vintage/flea market-y.

Thanks!

maps, birds & florals. I would mix it up, but I would stay in the same color families for all the pictures. So depending on the colors in this room, I would find a pop color or a color you love that goes with you room. Keeping the frames all the same color helps to bring this all together also. GL! Maybe check out Art.com for some ideas. I'm sure you could find calendars or old books with photos too. GL!Chat Icon

I would put pictures of famous places, like NYC skyline, The Golden Gate Bridge, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Acropolis, etc... places that stand out. Or even places that you have been too or that mean something to you.
