Framed wallpaper panels are an obvious choice.

Love how Jenny gave hers an edgy look with plexiglass.
We're also considering fine art mounted on giant-size canvases available from Surface View. Surface View is a UK company that allows you to crop and enlarge any of their available images in a variety of ways. I've been having so much fun on their website.
This is Chris's pick.
This is called The Virgin in Prayer which would be ironic because neither of us are virginal or saintly.
I also like this one.

Or maybe something that will indulge my sailboat obsession.

Or...we could get really creative and blow up one of our own photos into a 3' x 4' engineer print at our local copy shop. For around $20 (including plywood or foam core mount board), this would be our most economical option.

We still have plenty of time to figure it out.

I would do one of your own. Go through all of your trips and adventures, and pick out a photo that means the most too you or brings back the fondest memories. Oooh...I can't wait to see what you decide.
There is nothing more original than your own work. I would do that.
I tried the whole blow up a picture and modge podge thing. Major fail. Major.
If you go that route, I'd suggest shucking out the extra cash for a good quality print from mpix.
I like big arse stuff. I tend to go big often. You would rock it.
I love the framed wallpaper idea (and maybe it's the cheapest?) Although the fine art has a bigger impact. It would take me FORever to choose haha :)
I vote for the framed wallpaper! it has the vintagey feel like your house, but in an updated way.
I love the wallpaper!! I also love the big print!
I like the wallpaper!
Carrie, I can't wait to see your big arse art :)
I am at this very moment (well, this very week) using that Sugar Bee idea to mount a big map onto a piece of insulation from Lowes. A humungous piece of insulation is only $12!!! The only problem is that the spray adhesive I used didn't adhere the map very well. One of these days I'll post about it but it's definitely an economical way to mount something yourself, then trim out.
Lots of good options - I didn't know about the UK company - good to know if you can't find the right thing in the right size already. Investing in large pieces of art is a bigger commitment, but sooo worth it! I'm sure you'll find the perfect thing. :)
Just find the right balance and you will be fine. And like people, they don't obey Moore's Law--You can't expect next year's batteries to last twice as long as this year's. DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION:
