If you have visited here in the past, you may have known that I am incredibly bored with my livingroom. It’s a large space and the walls are painted cranberry and I’m not allowed to change them (so says the landlord aka my step-dad). I found a few AWESOME rooms that are apple-green, and I really want to go that route. For example:
Don’t they look great? Well, mine won’t exactly look like that. But it will be nice. I hope! I have purchased 
the wall decals below, but in ’snow’. I am also going to paint all the currently blank canvasses in my livingroom to a green shade – apple will suffice.
I’ve also decided to use the following tutorial to make a large lace painting above my couch, which many people commented requires more filler. No more tiny little clock… be prepared for more! I will also paint my tv stand cream coloured, and the inside compartments apple green. The desk that gramps gave me will also get a paint job, not sure which colour though.
Now to schedule some time so that I actually do it! Here’s what the room looks like now:

I love the way you decorate and I know it will end up looking great. Can’t wait to see the results!

Those green rooms do look lovely light and inviting… but surely you will get in trouble with your stepdad once he notices the change.

Warning~! I just did the EXACT same thing. I Loved the apple green rooms I have been seeing. But apparently talking to a paint pro(after my disaster) green is the HARDEST paint color to paint of your wall. Aka, thats why I now have literally lime green 80’s walls. I was so upset, I loved the color I picked out but up on the wall…it was horrid. I will not mess with green again unless someone gives me an exact paint shade name.

I’m sorry you can’t paint your walls. We are “renting” from my parents too and I can’t paint the living room, but I did manage to paint the kids’ bedrooms(a limey-apple green which I hate, and a pale peachy-pink which we all hate). I think the blank canvas green is a wonderful idea though, might look pretty awesome with the cranberry.
