brainstormingBefore Morgan was born, we ordered a variety of wall decals to put up in her room. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the supplier, so the decals were never shipped and her walls remain bereft and artless.
I am planning to order this Mondrian-style decal to go above the dresser. I'd also like some posters for the other walls, but I'm having a hard time thinking of what exactly. I think nice big portraits of people who are good role models and also visually interesting would be perfect, but I'm not sure who that would be, other than Albert Einstein. Help me brainstorm! Who are some visually interesting positive role models, especially female ones? Bonus points if you can identify a source for large cheap portrait posters.

sorry--i was having too much fun. i have no idea where to get the posters, though!
I grew up near the Babe Didrickson Zaharias Museum.
That is an awesome picture of Marie Curie.
Hmm, yeah, the Hope Obama poster could be cool.
Also the American Library Association has bright-colored reading posters, some of which are portraits.
I grew up with Mondrian on my wall, so your choice makes me happy.
(I swear, as soon as the-October-of-all-houseguests is over, I will make a plan to come see you and meet the baby.)
Ooh, Frederick Douglass! I am looking up pictures here, and I did not realize he had such great hair. (I feel so shallow now, thinking about visual appeal.)
