The bachelor’s place is a venue for self-expression. It might be a house, a one-bedroom apartment or a second story single, but it’s the one place where a guy can display his things, and experience them every time he’s at home.
These days, a handful of bachelors are developing a sense for interior design that, for generations, was something left to the female companion in their life. However, the rest of the ranks are still sporting a few garage sale pictures, and the ubiquitous, Led Zeppelin poster. There’s nothing wrong with Zeppelin, and pictures are one way to make a place come to life. But, why not park the current batch of hangings for a few, and go on line to barewalls.com. A Tuscany print or a Fenway Park sign for the front door might jump right out and call your name. If music celebrities are a passion, why not try using a black and white poster of John Lennon, Miles Davis, or even The Rat Pack for a more sophisticated look. You can find them on the same page as your Zeppelin crew. Did someone say Paige?
