Unfortunately my landlord won't allow wallpaper to be used only paint. I absolutely love the wallpaper designs at laura ashley and wondered if anyone knows a good place to find similar modern/stylish wall stencils to create a whole feature wall...this is the sort of look i would like to create with stencils over a whole wall... http://www.lauraashley.com/Duck-Egg+Blues/ISODORE-WALLPAPER/invt/3443074 Help Please? Thanks :D Open Question: Long, wide living room... how to decorate? furniture?We just bought a great 1950s bungalow with 1500sq ft. The issue is- the living room (when you walk in the front door, there is a low wall to your right, which seperates the entry from the living room, and is where the TV cables are in the wall)... it is about 22' long, 12' wide. If you put the couch against the wall, you're literally about 22' from the spot where the TV cables come into the house. WAY too far. We have a large overstuffed couch, love seat, 2 leather club chairs, matching retro style coffee table and side tables, a 40" lcd tv and stand. We had a small home, and everything fit very nicely, and seemed really cozy and family friendly. Now, we have double the space, but still the same amount of furniture. We bought all our furniture new in the past 2 years, so replacing it really isn't an option. The living room also opens up onto the dining room (a big L shape, the small part being the dining room, so we really can't put a dining room in the big space of the living room to fill it up. I don't want to have a big empty spot in the middle of the room, between the TV and couch. And, I want to be able to entertain without people feeling stranded in an empty, non functional room. This room has me baffled. We move in June 1st and i'm almost having nightmares about how to go about furnishing the room, setting it up. My plan is just to stick the furniture in there and rearrange it till I'm satisfied. Also, on the wall seperating the kitchen and living room (which SOMEDAY we want to cut a pass-thru into) I am planning on stenciling a large tree onto the wall, and hanging family photos on the tre...a family tree... and was thinking of putting the 2 club chairs against that wall with a stack of antique trunks in between them, as a table. That's the first wall you see when you come into the house. I was thinking about putting the couch in the middle of the room, but then it would be in the way of the nice window seat that's there. I would love to be able to fit a home office in there somewhere. Move the couch from the wall, put a funky desk behind it, which would move the couch away from the wall and closer to the tv??? Colous will be green, grey, brown, very nature toned and calming. The room gets a TON of light. I want to make the room seem SMALLER, not larger. Any tips? Open Question: will paint cover scratches on aluminum siding?I am painting a friends house, spraying it, will paint and primes ''in one'' cover deep scratches,if not what can i do?
