Did a quick search.  Most of them I found were for wallpapering my computer, not my walls.

FWIW...
An old Pard of mine took repops of Sears and other old catalogs from the turn of the century and cut out the pages showing firearms, loading supplies, etc., and then carefully pasted them to his bathroom wall, then he put a coat of sealer on so they wouldn't take on moisture. He is single now so there was no worry on which color of paint or towels, etc., he stayed with plain white towels and used dark brown paint for the trim and it looks pretty slick.
It might work, might not in your specific situation, but it did in his.
My wifey found some Buffler print material several years ago and made curtains for my 'man cave', still get comments on them. She found the material at a local fabric shop so that is another possibility for you. 
Another concept I've seen is to paint the walls tan or off-white then get some old barn boards and glue or screw them to the wall horizontally leaving 2" between each board, put on some sealer and it'll look like a log cabin when done.
Best regards and good decorating!

Nice idea those old catalog pages.   I posted as a "funny".  My "bathroom" is a period coo-rect outhouse.  Wallpaper not really appropriate.  But might do some catalog pages somewhere else.

Wolfgang, long time ago was in a cabin on the backside of Big Bear, The inside walls
were covered with news paper.
Billy thats an interesting site, altho at first glance a little to mod for this old coot.

Thanks you, Mr. Rattlesnake Jack.  For pin ups they are tasteful.  Will have to get a new color cartridge for the printer.  A few would look good above the bench.

All grins now,  ;D

Jack,

Did they have guns? ;D

I too like these better than some of the other options offered. Many thanks!
My best,

Pards & Pardettes, All, just for the sake of discussion only...
Maybe we are looking at this in the wrong vein, perhaps the real question should be "How long do you want to tell anybody you are sitting on the toilet?"
IF you are concentrating on the above suggested visuals, especially those proffered by Rattlesnake Jack, then the time spent there will increase potentially and create a loss of revenue, etc., thusly causing a drop in GNP/Gross National Product in whichever economic environment you exist in.
Therefore, and only for the sake of discussion, a few guffaws and gutteral chuckles, get in there, and get'r done and get back to work!
Best regards and please pass the Cottonelles!

Ol Gabe, I was talking about printing off a few to hang above my gun bench.  I am at a loss as to what you are referring to. ???  But a friend thinks you are  talking about what our Health  & Physical  Education Teacher said would make us go blind if we did to many times. 8). As far as the Gross National Product, took an other look at Lucky Chaps, and  derailed my train of thought.   ;D
