E.T.'s Profile

A slipcover may be the easiest way out but if you want to have the pattern show, anything else that gets paired with the couch should probably be solid because the couch is loud enough. The pale blue from the pattern is a very nice tint, and maybe you could pull some of that gold tone into other pieces as well?

And if the couch is still too loud, how about a throw blanket draped over it? Not completely over it like a slip cover, but just enough to tone down the pattern without completely covering it up.

@51desks- I had some wide fabric ribbon/tape (you could probably find some at a craft or fabric store; I actually got mine off of a fleece blanket from Target) that I tied into a loop at one end. I hung all my pins from that ribbon and hung the ribbon off a hook on my wall. It's primitive and could probably use some more planning/embellishment, but that's how I'm displaying all my pins/buttons.

Another thing you could do is frame a sheet of cork or buy a corkboard. I use it to hang my jewelry but found out it also works for my brooches, as well.

This is perfect! I am looking for some more vinyl decals to adorn my rented apartment walls, and now I have sources for that and other things I can put in my apartment!

This would actually work for my laundry/bathroom- there's a small gap in between the washer and the nook that fits stuff like detergent, but not much else. I haven't been looking that much for slim shelving, but a slim console table might just fit the bill?

I actually kind of like the ribbon idea. If the length in the photo is too long, it can always be adjusted. And if the concept of ribbon hanging down a chandelier is too much to grasp, how about adding ornaments to the ends (similar to past posts from this week about finding creative spaces to hang ornaments).
