Here's a few ideas, depending on your taste:

- white/ cream coloured paper birds (like origami) hanging from the ceiling at different lengths

-an empty vintage frame with ornate detailing

-tree branches along the wall... I saw some recently with clear glass bulbs hanging from them

Hi Kate! We were looking for building a custom library in a rental as well. After considering all the options, we settled on Ikea if you can believe it. We went for the white Billy bookcases with glass doors and filled a room. I would imagine you could build the piece over the doorway with a bit of creativity. What's great is when we move, we plan to reuse these bookshelves in an alternate way but actually build the built-ins of our dream.

So beautiful! Now that is one way to avoid having the same wallpaper as your neighbour.

LOVE the picture of Marilyn in jeans. Would love to have that one framed somewhere on my walls. ANY ideas where to find that it as a print?

And Lemondrop, great find with the tumblr :)

Although it is not my personal aesthetic, I am really drawn to the first photo. It seems like the glamour has an almost surreal, wet-like quality to it... as though it has dripped from the woman in the painting above onto the couch below. It intrigues me - and good design should.

It's kind of meh. I would have loved to see a great piece of art... a hint of colour... a sophisticated but invitingly cozy rug under the desk. It seems a bit sterile all in all.

Gotta be honest... I wanted to LOVE these homes and I don't. Most are overdone, busy, and would give me anxiety being in them.

There is something "trying to hard" about them that just isn't translating well.

It's funny how my FAVOURITE resources these days for home and personal fashion are coming from everyday people and not designers. I am MUCH more inspired with streetwear sites (like chictopia or lookbook) than the traditional runways... and the same with home design. The AT community is much more innovative and exciting to me than the well known interior designers and decorators. Hmmm...

Graphic bathroom - fantastic idea!
Lots of great details throughout the home.
Very creative and original.

It seems unfinished?

Cute cat though. Looks just like mine!!! I guess all black cats look alike but the owners are always convinced that theirs is unique hehe.

OSB overload. I appreciate the creativity but wow, does EVERYTHING need to be made out of OSB. It appears that one of the bedrooms walls was OSB painted black - cool effect. I think the other OSB walls painted in bold colours to celebrate the texture might be fun. I agree with Dewie's Girl though - I would ditch the OSB furniture.

The chalkboard art however - fantastic. The bathroom wallpaper - beautiful.

Although the entire aesthetic of the place isn't mine - that's the reason we all love Apartment Therapy posts. Gotta break outside of the Sarah Richardson box baby! See what crazy ideas are out there.

Re-upholstering one day would be exciting for sure. Until that day, those couches are fabulous as they are. I think a mix of modern and unexpected cushions would be fun. :) Great find!
