Suggestions for Wood Walls
Will be moving into a new home next week and one of the first projects on my list is the walls (plus ceiling in one room) and trim. (NOTE: Furnishings shown in pics aren't mine.) The only thing I'm sure of is that I want to lighten up the space, but am open to any and all suggestions on how to make that happen.

Paint, wallpaper or both?

The windows along my studio apartment's back wall extend the full width of the apartment (about 20 feet). But there's this awkward blank wall space between the bottom of the windows and the floor that I'd love to do something interesting with.

Zero Energy Entryway
We have a very blank entryway that says "welcome to our home, I guess." We have a large closet nearby for coats and shoes, so we don't need to use this space for storage. We like the green bench and the rug (washable, because dog). What could liven this area more? My design crutch is always plants, but this space gets zero…

My drab powder room needs a pick-me-up!
When we moved into this house, we didn't have much time so we painted the entire house a neutral gray color, including this powder room which is our most-used bathroom. I'd love to have it make more of a bold statement, either with paint or a fun wallpaper. We love eclectic, colorful, and modern, with a preference for…

Need Help with Wallpaper for Bathroom
I am obsessed with the idea of using wallpaper to elevate my dark (and drab) half bathroom. The walls were painted a deep purple by the previous homeowners and the best way to describe the space is "cave like" due to the color. It's just not my style!
