Writers fear the blank page; artists hesitate with a blank canvas; and many of us fear a big, blank, white wall in our homes. The possibilities are endless and the results can be amazing or a complete fail. Personally, the fear of failure is the reason most of my walls remain empty and boring. For years I’ve been collecting cute prints, artwork, greeting cards, pictures and more with the intention to frame and display them. And still, my walls remain more or less bare and sad.
So for this month’s Challenge, we want you to tackle those boring walls! Show us your fantastic art, pictures or whatever displayed proudly in your home. Please, I need all the help and inspiration I can get!

Here’s how to participate in our Photo Challenge:
- If you’ve got a great display you want to show off, take a picture and send it in. If you’re embarking on the Challenge this month, send us before and after shots
- Email your picture(s) to stylesheet AT hgtv DOT ca with a short description by November 30, 2008
- Alternatively, if you’ve got a flickr account, you can post your picture(s) and description directly to our Style Sheet photo group
