is this tacky?

Sooo I just moved into a HUGE apartment last week...the walls are starting to eat me alive with their blank-ness. It's a little ugly outside today so I was thinking for an indoor activity, I could go to the dollar store and buy some poster board and metallic markers. Then I am going to go get a bunch of photos printed and glue them on there...kind of like collages to post on the walls. It's all under ten bucks, and it's creative. Do you think that would be too tacky to have people see when they come over? Or...do you have a better idea?  

eh... the poster board and metallic markers kind of remind me of high school home coming or a science fair or something. lol.
have you checked on pinterest? there are some amazing ideas on there for wall decor. i did one for DD's room where you draw a picture on a piece of canvas (i got two big ones on sale at hobby lobby for $7.99 for the pair) with elmer's glue and then you paint all over the whole thing with one color of paint. it raises the image and it looks really cool. i made a big one of a flower for her room. you have to do really simple designs or the glue will run together, though. it turned out really awesome. that's the only one i've tried. there are a ton other ideas.

IMO, tacky.

I can't stand bare walls!
I think it's an awesome idea. Who cares about what other people think when they come over, it's not their place! You're the one who has to see it everyday. And it's a more personal touch, as opposed to buying some prints or posters that anyone can have!
