The photo link didn't work but I can say, as a huge fan of the movie, that it doesn't sound like it would work in a Tuscan style room. Our rule is that we both have to like it. Couldn't you find something a little more subtle to give a small nod to the movie. I do have a funny little set of the witches legs with the red shoes on that I slide under our wood box, it's funny and very seldom noticed by anyone but me. It was a gift or it wouldn't be there.

I agree with yayagal. I think that the both have to like it rule is a good one. I also agree with your husband that it might be a bit too much out of character with the room.

OTOH, many people here say that as far as art goes, you should put up what you love and not worry about it coordinating so... ??

It's not a vintage poster. It's a modern interpretation, as the description says. I think it could be fun in a bathroom or even a kitchen, but not in your living room, at least as described.

Thanks for the responses. Dh doesn't care for it but leaves decorating to me. Really unless he hates something badly, the choice is mine.

I realize it isn't vintage but am okay with that. I know many of the vintage style posters are just advertisements and don't see that much difference in the two.

As far as adding something smaller from Wizard of Oz, I don't necessarily want something from the movie in the house. I just happen to love this poster and W of Oz. I was hoping there was a way to frame/mat it so that it looks more expensive vs cheap. Then I was hoping it would go in the room.

We have no wall space in kitchen and I would worry about a framed print in small damp bath. Our vanity area is in a separate room and doesn't have wall space. Great idea though.

IMHO, it doesn't sound like it will go with what's there. You also asked how you could frame it anyway so it would look expensive. Buying a well-made frame with appropriate matting might help, but I don't think it will ever look super expensive...it's a poster.

My DH leaves decorating up to me for the most part, but if he said he didn't care for something, I wouldn't want to put it in such a prominent part of our home since it's unlikely he would ever say he "hated" it (even though he might). If you really love it, why not put it where you'll be the primary viewer...the laundry room (if you're the one who does that), your walk-in closet, etc? Your fear over it being too damp in a bathroom seems needless. I've hung framed prints with glass for years in bathrooms without problems, but we do use exhaust fans.

I LOVE that poster! I am so used to seeing all of the classic actual photos and the poster is such a fresh take on the movie.

Only you know how much DH actually "cares" what is in the room. My DH has a way of drastically changing his opinion of something the first time he hears someone else comment favorably on it. I learned long ago to ignore his thoughts on any decorative matter...in fact, the more he dislikes something, the more I usually know I'm on the right track, lol. I ignore his input and in the end, he is always very happy with the end product.

I think this poster would be quite a conversation piece.

I can't imagine how it would look in your living room as I have zero ability to visualize anything from a written description.

As for whether it would look cheap, I wouldn't worry about that. It is either going to enhance the overall look of the room or it isn't. That would be my main concern.

The poster reminds me more of Wicked than the Wizard of Oz. There are a number of people on this forum who say you need not match your artwork to the style of the room and to put on the walls what you love. I agree with what others have posted here - it's going to look like a poster no matter what you do to it, and it has nothing in common with a picture of a granny feeding chickens.

Still, look around and maybe there is an entryway wall or some other area where it could be a really cool surprise. The colors are wonderful.

I'd put it in the hall, not the living room...especially if DH is not loving it. Great conversation piece, on the way to the powder room :)

Thanks again.

I am not concerned about Dh. Trust me it is going to be fine. After 20 yrs, I know how far I can push without sending him over the ledge.

Cindyloo, I too think it is a fresh spin on something so recognizable. Plus, it is totally unexpected while still pretty imo. Plus it takes me away from something too themed, Tuscan. I really want a casual, artsy, eclectic home with a farmhouse spin. LOL. I am a gemini and my two sides never agree. Hee-hee.

So IF you were to bite the bullet and use this, how would you frame it? Ornate black, simple black wood, or maybe thin simple poster style frame? Would you mat it? What color if so?

Do you have photos of the room you described above? Even though the majority here feel that it's not going to work (myself included), it would help greatly to see the other items in the room to suggest a framing choice.

And admittedly, I am very curious to see this eclectic room! I consider my style eclectic, but you have me beat by a long shot, based on the description above. You're far braver than I am.

No I don't have a photo but I could take one later today. Can someone tell me how to upload it here when I get home?

I get the whole eclectic thing, but not sure about the Wicked poster. Must see room. Please post a pic:) Like my3dogs stated, I am very intrigued after reading that description.
