He ...teresa here ...I used different decals with different results. The decal in my livingroom (the sparrow from ferm living) would not stick to the prepainted canvas I had wanted to put it on but stuck perfectly to my somewhat textured (ie spackled over and some rough patches) walls and teh ShaNickers decals (birds used in the bedroom&on canvas) adhered easily onto both surfaces of wall and canvas which both were slightly rough and uneven. So it definitely depends but overall I had good results with both on surfaces that were not "ideal" or perfectly smooth by any means.

jeez! i keep forgetting to answer at least one question--sorry for my messy brain! laura E....it is true...really no walls...it looks as it does in the floor plan...open between the rooms & no wall between the room and the hall space...railroad at its most bare minimum.

and the acrylic table is from cb2 and was about $320.00

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments and critiques...always good to hear from what people think outside of what I see in my own head! The graphic with the bird over the couch is from ferm living--the painting over the acrylic table is actually canvas I painted with fuschia wall paint and then added wall graphics I got from etsy seller "ShaNickers" (the same place the wall graphic over the bed is from)...i totally understand the feelings about "too many" wall graphics but my reasoning was #1 :since I couldnt paint I wanted to fill large spaces with something without too many little things leaving it cluttered #2 by mistake (ha)...I intended originally for the graphic above the couch to go on the pink canvas where the canvas sits now over the table but as I tried to apply it it wouldnt stick so in a last panic moment stuck it above the couch and then had a pink canvas to fill...and so it went as it did :). Thank you again for all of your comments, especially those who know how hard it is to work with those horrid ceiling tiles!

so beautiful and elegant...i covet...yes, i do.

As a former barnes & noble employee--once upon a time, a long time ago :)--I'm pretty regimented about my bookcases...I have two huge cases in my study flanking my desk ....the right bookcase is fiction and the left non-fiction (for starters)....the fiction is split into subcategories (new fiction, series novels, shakespeare, jane austen&everything before her...and then poetry at the end, beginning with anthologies)...the left bookcase is segmented into subcategories: psychology, sociology, religion&spirituality, memoir, travel essays&guides, women's studies, health, and reference/writing on writing materials ....yeah i may be a little out of control but I love the order of it all, so easy to sort through and organizationally reminiscent of my b&n days :)!

very cool...a perfect mix of old and new!

a housewarming cocktail party with appetizers with all of my closest friends...a new apartment for a new year :)
