I had one that no matter what I did just slowly died. Would love to try it again, but I wish I knew what I did wrong first.

Hmm, I see why this room is put together well, but it kind of feels like one of those rooms they do on HGTV where it is done well but lacks originality. I don't know...there is just something a little ho hum about this. I think the chocolate/lilac combo is something I have seen before. Or maybe it is just chocolate paint color in general. Also, i am not a fan of the word art either.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Not to be a hater...the room is cute. But there is something about it that feels too design generic. Is that the phrase I'm looking for?

Medusa12120, I agree a brown could be pretty with the wallpaper. Unfortunately, with no separating walls between the dining area and the living room, I'm afraid it would be too much. I don't want it to end up looking like a clown house (it's happened to me before in an old apartment!). If I had a separate space for the table that didn't open directly onto everything else I would have definitely gone with a different color or even wallpapered the whole room. My main goal was that the wallpaper would create a homey space for eating. Thanks for the suggestion though.

There are so many great spaces being posted in this competition. It definitely inspires me and also makes me envious of people with nice architectural details in their apartments. I would love to have exposed brick or even (gasp!) windows to work with in my living room area. Anyway, thanks for all the comments!

Thanks for all the compliments! The rug and the credenza are both the result of me obsessively searching ebay and craigslist. The credenza was only $150 and the rug cost about the same. I definitely have to work on a budget, but I enjoy the hunt!
