When you hit a wall....

...paint it with black board paint.

Well, that's what I did anyway.

I had this wall in my apartment...and nothing I did made it look nice. I already had a collage on the opposite wall and it just didn't do any justice to my Polaroid collection.

Now its black and beautiful and the thing I love most about it is...

...that I can write my guests little welcome notes.

(Right now I  choose to ignore the fact that it will cost a pretty penny to re-paint white the day I decide to move out. It was Keats that said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". I completely agree. Let's hope the landlords agree too.)
