Odd though it sounds, putting my house on the market has given me an opportunity to dress up a couple of the plainer-looking walls with some pictures that have been (in my head, at least) dying to be set free in print. It's been a chance for me to let my printer stretch its legs to full A2 size... and I have to say, it's been rather good fun. There's something thoroughly addictive about carefully resizing an image in Photoshop and then seeing the result appear in a size big enough to hang on a decent-sized wall.
It's made me realise I need a house with more wall space. Funny how that never features in estate agents' descriptions...
There's a good piece on The Online Photographer about exactly this issue:

My current house has lots of walls. They're all a bit small, though...
