I tend to shy away from these because my apartment's already a little too Russophilic and adding pop culture quotes to the mix would be overkill. However, I was perusing etsy for a print for my kitchen and realized that "I'm gonna go talk to some food about this" needed to be on that wall, which is open to the living room and the first thing I see when I'm thinking about eating my feelings.

The print I was looking at wasn't the look I was going for, though, so I may or may not have spent an hour Photoshopping one up to suit my kitchen and sent it to Costco for a 16x20 print. Totally happy with having a Liz Lemon quote on my wall now that I've put some creativity into it.

Aha, a name to my problem! My Malm headboard unit is one of my many current crutches, and the one I'm fixing this weekend. When I bought it, I thought it would be great - hidden storage! Except that I never figured out what to store in it, besides magazines that made the shelves too heavy to slide in and out, DVDs I couldn't get out very easily, and every small piece of junk and paper I could shove in them. The top of the headboard has also ended up being a magnet for every water glass from the kitchen, forgetfully transported to the bed by my boyfriend. Because it's black-brown, it also acts as a black hole - I can't find anything in the shelves or under the bed. So I'm getting rid of the whole thing and have identified a new bed, sans headboard unit, to replace it, along with a couple nightstands that will function the way I need them to. Man, I'll be so excited when I can immediately see where the clutter is and take care of it.
