The chair looks beautiful other than the nailhead trim...it looks really uneven.

LyonStill - They're made to look like old mercury glass, but you make them with mirror-look spray paint, not actual mercury.

These are lovely! I'm not sure of your overall aesthetic, other than what's in the background of the picture above, but I could see these with a simple black table with Parsons-esque lines. Definitely something sleek and simple.

That ottoman table in the first picture...oh my goodness.

This is supremely unhelpful, but that house/front garden is adorable.

I don't think there's any safe solution that wouldn't require installing some hardware in the walls. It's not entirely unclear whether your landlord specified no holes/hanging on the walls, but ask about touch-up paint, if you're allowed to hang pictures, this would simply be another thing to spackle and paint when you move out.

All of that said, I can't imagine it would be too difficult to install an actual door (although unless someone is handy with a jig saw, fitting a door to the arch could get expensive) with hinges and a simple latch. I don't know what you mean be "more creative", but although the bookshelf ideas are really cool, that would take a lot more engineering on your part to make sure it is safe.

Not sure why you would want a dead deer watching you when you get out of the shower, but as a lover of taxidermy it's pretty appalling that someone would hang a buck mount in a bathroom where constant steam and humidity is going to ruin it.

Looks like a really comfortable place to live! And I love diamond doves!

I'm an artist and I cut my own mats for unusually sized projects and it is NOT easy, for most people, investing $30 in a tricky handheld mat cutter is not worth your time. It is painstaking, and you will mess up the first few times like the corners in this example, which I would never use as a finished mat. Mattes are very cheap in standard sizes in stores like Dick Blick or online, I wouldn't bother with this for most.

Is the one pictured out of your price range or is there some other reason that one isn't an option?

I would do some big neutral throw pillows (light gray comes to mind) and bring in a couple playful orange elements elsewhere, you don't want to add any more orange to the sofa. A cute lacquer tray or a vase like others have suggested on a side table or bookshelf would look really cute.

@Caitlin F.

I was thinking the same thing once I asked, looking again, it actually looks natural too, not gold. I probably have enough antlers in my decor anyway, lol...

I love the antler jewelry hanger, where is that from?

I like this! It's unique. The curtains should probably be lined though, at least in this photo, the chevron looks really splotchy and weird in the light.
