I found this picture in a back issue of Traditional Home magazine and wanted to share it.  Look at those pillows!  What a fantastic way to use some collected t-shirts from past concerts.  I love how most of the room is more conservative and then you have the iconic Rolling Stones tongue on a pillow.  I think the pattern on the draperies do a great job of bridging the furnishings and the accessories.  If you don't have your own collection of vintage rock t-shirts, you can always search eBay and thrift stores.

Led Zeppelin's Physical Grafitti album cover
Instead of pillows, you can have the shirts matted and framed to hang as artwork.  While you're trolling eBay, you may want to look for some classic albums.  Back in the 70's, cover art was almost as much a part of the album creation as the music.  A framed arrangement featuring some of your favorite music is an interesting and more personal way to dress a wall.

I guess this means my 15-year old nephew is cooler than I realized, since he sent me a framed copy of Bobby Womack's "The Poet II" (featuring Patti LaBelle!) for my wall.
