			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve been working on spiffing up our downstairs playroom and living room in anticipation of a visit from my husband&#8217;s beloved grandmother. We&#8217;ve installed new wood floors, we&#8217;ve painted, and we&#8217;ve even added a new ceiling fan and light fixtures.</p>
<p>But we&#8217;ve been left with one big problem: big, open walls.</p>
<p>Since we&#8217;re nearing the end of our decorating budget, I&#8217;m looking for ways to fill the wall space quickly in a way that makes a big impact visually, but not financially. Here are some things I&#8217;m planning on implementing. If you have more big ideas, share them in the comments.</p>
<p>Fabric Wall Art</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-182" title="wall_panel_craft" src="http://www.myhomestyleguide.com/wp-content/uploads/wall_panel_craft.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Being the crafty gal that I am, I can&#8217;t resist the idea of displaying large panels of fabric throughout my house. It&#8217;s a fast way to create unique, beautiful decorations. CRAFT has a great <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/10/fabric_wall_art_craft_video_po.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/10/fabric_wall_art_craft_video_po.html');" target="_blank">video podcast</a> that walks you through all the how-tos.</p>
<p>Wallpaper Panel Art</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-183" title="wallpaper_panel" src="http://www.myhomestyleguide.com/wp-content/uploads/wallpaper_panel.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<a href="http://www.sweetjessie.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.sweetjessie.com/');" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetjessie.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.sweetjessie.com/');" target="_blank">Sweet Jessie</a> used vintage wallpaper remnants to createÂ <a href="http://www.sweetjessie.com/2008/05/show-and-tell.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.sweetjessie.com/2008/05/show-and-tell.html');" target="_blank">this</a> dramatic and fun wall panel.</p>
<p>Fun With Stencils</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-184" title="stencil_101" src="http://www.myhomestyleguide.com/wp-content/uploads/stencil_101.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="244" /></p>
<p>With a little paint and the <a href="http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,gifts/products_id,7507/title,Stencil101" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,gifts/products_id,7507/title,Stencil101');" target="_blank">Stencil 101</a> book by Ed Roth, you can quickly add repeated visual interest to your walls. Roth&#8217;s designs are cool and edgy, and the book comes with tons of precut stencils, ready for you to use in every room of your house</p>
<p>Whether you decide to go with fabric, paper, paint or all three &#8211; don&#8217;t be afraid to make a big statement in your big spaces. What other ideas do you have for a big impact in your home decor? Leave them in the comments.</p>
