Awww! I like your wall - quite jealous of the Uncirculated Rumours albums. Those are the only vinyl that I still have on my list of things to get. Sigh.
I had to lol at what your significant other said, though. I display my stuff a little differently than most of the Stevie rooms I see, mostly because I don't have a whole room I can really dedicate to my junk without it looking overwhelming - so instead of having just one area completely plastered, I scatter my stuff around the house, and try to stick with a general theme/scheme in each different room.
For example, my living room is done in black, white and wine/burgundy/deep reds. I liked the look of those "wall collages" I see in magazines and such, so I used framed black and white photos and framed albums with black and white covers on one wall to do that. It shares space with the big black and white print from A Clockwork Orange on another wall and the group of Grindhouse posters on the opposite wall - but since they all have similar colors going, I like to think nothing looks out of place.
My bedroom is done in black & gray and I will eventually paint the walls dusty purple, so I've got my Wild Heart promo poster in there, as well as framed album covers that have purples and other colors that match up with the blues and such in the WH poster.
And the big wall in the dining room has all of the other framed albums that don't quite fit anywhere else, but they're all arranged in a big grid on the wall, so they look like they "match" even though they don't. There's a photo of what I mean upthread, but I've since moved, so it looks different now - some of those in the picture got swapped out for different rooms, like the Edge promo is now in the kitchen, because my new kitchen is tiled in black and white and the Stop Draggin' promo is in the bedroom due to the purples.
I'm a big nerd. And I also ramble too much at 3:30 AM.

Where do you guys get yours from?

I don't collect like I used to - I kind of exhausted both my funds and stuff I really wanted to own. BUT when I was collecting hardcore, I used eBay, musicstack, eil.com, and similar, and made sure to scour used record stores and such whenever I was near one, just in case.
