I'm lucky too. My hubby doesn't care about what we hang. I have his office full of 50's bad girl, noir, monster films and a huge Barbarella. At home it's older fare and he wants the beautiful women in his room. We discuss finances not posters. But oh how those finances get in the way of the posters!
