How about doing a google search for companies that supply wall murals? Then select an image that resonates with you.... http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/Miles-Davis-All-Stars-The-Best-of-Miles-Davis-Posters_i8433046_.htm Alternatively how about covering the walls in a decoupage of sheet music covered with a layer of varnish to give it sepia tones?

We may not share artistic values but we do share one good thing... love and our life together - he's simply your typical man who loves to lounge around even when covered in dirt! We may have completely different ideas for our home but he is a good egg :) Anyway I do believe we have found common ground... surprisingly he really likes my idea of using grey with bright colours. We have agreed that as long as I stop forcing him to endure flamingos or similar, he will put up with me buying vintage and completely unnecessary furniture. He's said I can do whatever I want with those awful armchairs... WIN! I think we are going with man friendly greys meets pops of colour/vintage. It's pay day next week and I simply can't wait any longer!! Having said that... some ideas for what style of vintage and arrangements will be wonderful! Here is the photo from my kitchen door - anything attached to the walls were already there from the previous residents and will be removed... such as the mirror which isn't in line with that hideous folding table and the strange religious wall in the corner.... plus the half finished wallpaper on the chimney breast lol. x

These comments are great! Diana - love your comment on the table Luckily it's just an Ikea table I attacked with spray paint some years ago so more than ready to ditch it! Definitely thinking plants, lamps and maybe a chair with small table under the window. Jules you're right about the Christmas tree - I'm getting it earlier each year to spend more time with it! Sam I love the brick look (and am thinking of including it in the new kitchen - if we ever get around to doing it). Thank you randoms on the internet! Was thinking of getting rid of the shelves and built in cupboard and putting a 'cool' cabinet for the to go on one side and a small table with picture above it the other? Will def put a mirror above the fireplace. Won't be the one in the room now as that's too big - it will be relegated to the landing . Thanks all! X

Can you post some photos and give more details such as how light the room is and what aspect it is. Also, what time of day do you use it most etc.
