This reminds me of when people let their kids draw on the walls. I thought it was gross when I was a kid, and I still think it's gross as an adult. It's not cute or endearing in any way.

It is ghetto. As in, it looks like they found a sofa at the curb and let their tagger friends have a go at it.

DYI is, in fact, a trend. Once upon a time, we made things to decorate our homes with because we couldn't afford to buy them. Now every hipster on the face of the earth is DYI'ing because you can't be a hipster without kitschy DYI artwork and a paper "taxidermy" moose head.

And I think the only people that should be allowed to have "Keep Calm" prints are people who knew what it meant BEFORE it became so darn trendy. I went to someone's house for a party and asked them if they knew the history behind their "Keep Calm" poster and they had no bloody clue. I died a little.

This need to "hide the TV" confuses me as well. As long as you have one, it's going to be a bit of a focal point since the whole point is for everyone to be able to sit around and WATCH it. My TV is in a place where nobody has to break their neck to watch it and I decorate around it as I see fit, not with the intention of "hiding" it since it's nothing to be a ashamed of!
