Thanks so much for the idea! Unfortunately, his doesn't have a hole. But now you've made me wonder if perhaps I could find a drill bit that could drill a hole into it! :)

Christine, I'm wondering if you can tell me how you hung that plate above your bed? My boyfriend has one just like it (maybe a tad bigger), and we want to hang on his wall above his bed, but it's so heavy, and I'm not sure what kind of hardware to use?

I love the room!

I am in love with both your staircase and dining room.

I once painted a whole open living space (kitchen/dining/living of about 500 ft) a color called "mystic smoke" and my landlord didn't care. She even showed it to the next tenant, who loved it and decided to keep it.

I just finished painting my very large living room in a mustard-ish color. It looks fantastic and feels like a cozy home now. Worth losing my security deposit if it happens! Although they did say I could paint if I got the color approved, I didn't get approval first. We shall see what happens, but I doubt I'll repaint when I move. It took me way too long to paint for it to be worth it, I think (imagine fireplace, moulding on an archway, TWO doors, and 6 windows' worth of trim work).

It looks great!

Must be my geographical location, but my local Goodwills and Salvation Armys never have any furniture for less than $40-$50 a piece. It's almost not like thrifting considering how cheap you can find NEW stuff at IKEA.

I also have no power outlet in my 1930 bathroom=personal health implement chargers abound on my kitchen counter, & hydroflosser used at the kitchen sink, lol. Sometimes you gotta compromise.

I would definitely paint the walls something with more "punch," as they are a bit drab as is. They are too "matchy" with the carpet, not the curtains, per se. As others suggested, adding some eggplant accents would also work well.
