I covered my ugly backsplash with paintable textured wallpaper. It's wipe-able, and I can strip it off the tiles before I move out. Mine kind of looks like grasscloth, but you can get all sorts of ...
maybe paint the 4th wall orange, and do purple with the accessories? Purple rug, etc? The colours look great in the mural, but a purple accent wall might look abrupt. What if you painted the edge o...
I think more house tours should include 'embarassments' - I'll show you my storage closet if you show me your junk drawer...
It's good to be reminded that nobody's perfect.
You definitely need to move that desk. Put your table there instead.
Also, consider moving one of your dining table chairs somewhere else, and pushing your table right against the wall...
Don't be sad about the bird feeder yet - it took a few weeks before birds visited ours too. This past weekend, we got a visit from 2 cardinals. It was worth the wait.
Be careful - the moisture in some glues or paints may cause the cardboard/wood to warp or even bubble. I would recommend covering it with a thinnish textured or patterned paper, and maybe using a s...
I voted lamp, but I actually have 'sconces' - not the hardwired kind though, the Basisk from Ikea. They can be mounted to the wall or used with a clip.

The flower is the nicest, but you can never go wrong with stripes.

Look at that chinatown house tour / color entry for inspiration - they had lots of bright red. I think they paired it with light blue and lemon-lime.
I have that round one from method! It's great. I like the purple smell. An open window is nice, but it's cold in Canada right now...
How about a folding screen, which would cover both? Or, a swing arm rod: http://www.umb...
Don't paint it! Especially not if it's your first piece!

Go chocolate brown for sure! And pin-up girl artwork!
It looks like it's wearing a diaper.
