Anybody know some really great off-the-beaten-path places in the city that I could find some nice (inexpensive) art pieces? - Wall sculptures, prints, etc...

Did Giuliani shoot all the artists who used to have tables in front of the Met. Museum? I had a several friends in my E. Village days who used to sell up there. There's the usual shlocky stuff, but some good work, too if you put in the effort to look around. You can get something pretty simple and dress it up with a good frame. Same goes for the Sidewalks of SoHo on the weekends.

I'm not sure how little you mean to spend, but many of the far West Chelsea galleries have prints and small pieces for $1,500 or less.

Post some pics of your apartment, before and after. I see the possibility of a cable TV show here...

I REALLY wish I had taken some "before" shots! I must say i am quite proud of my results.

(My gay super power is musical theatre, not decorating, so it wasn't easy)
