I understand your situation. I would suggest picking out a modern wallpaper print in a mix of light yellow and white. I don't mean those outdated wallpapers, but something with a big graphic design on it. Think along the lines of Candice Olsen. Then you can punctuate the wall with nice print so the wall can enjoy some balance. You have a light natural finish on the table. And as much as "white" would make the room airy, it may turn this wall into a clinical or empty space.

And I agree with TallSarah, hang the guitars. You may not need a framed print if you hang the guitars.

I have used my sons car seats past their expiration date. There is no apparent damage and weakening of the foam. If there was, then I would get rid of them. Beyond that, I would save my money to buy a good convertible seat when they reach 4 or 5 years old. If the seat you have appears to have deflated foam, cracks in the frame and the belts no longer stay attched in the lock, then get another seat.

Congratulations Christopher and Merete! I love this vacation home and the entire premise of actual home ownership is truly divine. I can understand having a small home to visit when you want to get out of the city and this house completely fits the bill.

I'm sure as you continue to use the house you will find that maybe a more permanent residence will require 100 more sq ft and you will have the experience and knowledge of the first build to get it done. I'm in true awe and thank you for your words of advice,'If there's any project that you'd like to tackle — anything from building a house to smaller DIY weekend project — just do it!' Now where did I leave my hammer?

Gift it to someone who you know would really deserve it. Otherwise, bite the bullet and sell it cheap. When it comes to recouping money on expensive furniture, think about how much your could sell it for the next day after the purchase and this will help you with future purchase decisions.
