Ah, accent walls: how I covet thee. I want a light, light green in my bedroom, and a chocolate-y brown in the living room. There are a few obstacles to the attainment of accent walls, however.
a) My landlord. I think he'd say yes, actually, but he scares me so I never talk to him. Yes, I am fearless indeed.
b) Sloth. I kinda don't feel like it. I'd have to, you know, move stuff. And tape things. And, well, paint. Ew.
c) Cliché. I am already afraid my apartment looks a little too Pottery Barn-y. If I add a brown wall, I'm only a step away from putting my books in the shelves backwards (you guys know what I mean, right? Why do they do that?????).
I think that in the end, the accent wall is not for me. But a girl can have her design dreams.
But seriously, why do they do that?

see i feel like having an apartment look like pottery barn is not a bad thing, because pottery barn has good taste. But there is a fine line between, "my taste happens to match that of the awesomeness of pottery barn" and "i want to copy page 4 of the winter catalogue." So what i'm saying is, get an accent wall because you are not in the latter group you are in the former.
question oh wise sage: could you possibly write a post about decorating solutions for the student, ie, someone who moves every year and has but one room with which to expess themselves?
