I check it almost every day! There's always something lovely and inspirational, and usually its not even the subject of the post, ++ love the partner sites. Unfortunately I just discovered it this year (the year of no money!) Yes, I LOVE Apartment Therapy! I check it almost every day!

It's one of my favorite web sites. By far the coolest section of the site (which I spend hours pouring over) is their "Cool Small Apartments" contest they have every year. http://contests.apartmenttherapy.com/2008/small-cool/ They feature small apartments (under 800 sq feet) that are beautifully and uniquely designed. Lots of thrift store/Ikea finds featured. Most of them are renters, which I appreciate, because I hate my white walls as well, and a lot of them are able to "hide" their white walls, or at least design their apartment so creatively that I don't even notice the renter-white on the wall.

You could just get drunk on margaritas... not sure if it helps to let go, but certainly helps to forget for a while. And I always have my greatest epiphanies while drunk (at least they seem to be at the time.) I like the tapestries, but I'm afraid it would look too much like a dorm room. Maybe if it were mounted properly... Actually, what I really really want is one of those giant maps the teacher used to pull down in Geography class. I found one in a thrift store once, and didn't get it. I'm forever kicking myself in the ass for that. LOL, I know what you mean.

I feel your pain. Truly. I wound up having a lot of art and posters on my walls. Of course, I prefer white walls, and mine were colored, but hey. LOL! I feel your pain. Truly.

These are great, and what a nice retro print too. I think I'm jealous. I’ve used cloth napkins for years, not so much to be green, I just like them better.
