One advantage of using the same screen for work and home use is that it gave me justification for splurging on a 30" main monitor last year. A KVM switches the screen, keyboard and mouse over to my docking station for when I'm working.
I love my usb kvm though I don't put video through it, I switch the display between the hdmi & dvi inputs (toying with the idea of adding audio to it, so I can use my one good set of headphones on both rigs). Multiple displays give me whiplash.

Man, you guys need to move countries a couple of times. That soon sorts out how much stuff you have lieing around. Most of what I own would fit into a few boxes*.
Yep, 30" screen, 2560x1600 res (16:10 aspect ratio obviously). The ones either side are older 4:3 screens running at 1600x1200 (liberated from work). Bought the 30" screen last year after my old, trusty 27" ViewSonic finally packed in.
Not really a crusade, I just consider it a downgrade from 16:10 and I don't like new products that are a downgrade from what I had previously.
Incidentally I bought my wife a new laptop last year, went for a Huawei Mateboox X Pro (3:2 screen). Interestingly, the chassis is almost identically sized to the HP Elitebook I have for work. Except on my wife's laptop the whole lid is screen, whereas my work laptop has the better part of 5cm of plastic bezels at the top and bottom. It's a bit shit.
Most of the art was my mum's (the flower ones she made), there's no particular theme. They were lying around for 2 years in a pile, wasn't sure where to put them when tidying up so i just banged a bunch of nails up all over the place and stuck them on the wall. I guess that's sort of what you're meant to do with them.
The fire extinguisher (and fire blanket) are from my welding bay (which no longer exists since I turned the garage into a wood and CNC workshop, need to build a new welding bay), I know use it to fend off H&S managers who want to do risk assessments for working from home.
