Nice Blog
I like that you suggested wallpapers since they are a cheap way to make a boring wall have a striking accent. With that in mind, I will look for a wallcovering design that I would have for my bedroom, so I feel more at home with the new house we moved into this month. It would be nice if I find paper weave prints because I am really into that ever since I was a teen.
