Our front room is a space very similar to this...a small room with a solid back wall. We are using the space as our office and I like the idea of it being an office, but right now it is a room waiting to get some attention (even though it is the first impression you get when you are welcomed to our home.) We have our back wall painted a chocolate color at the moment (which we did 4 years ago.) Now I am considering putting up some
cool wallpaper. What do you think? It is such a small accent wall and would be easy to put or take down when it comes time for a change. I think a something similar to this
stunning mirror would be nice and make the room feel larger since it would reflect the light coming from the window across the room. I want to finish it off with a glass desk with hair pin legs (a concept I have envisioned and would have to make) in the middle of the room, a rug, and some kind of low/long shelf against the back wall, and then chair(s) facing the desk. That is the plan anyways! =)

my personal opinion (which I know you value sooo much when it comes to decorating) is that wallpaper is of the devil. It's never "EASY" to take down. Good luck with that. :) NO really, I think those all look pretty cool.
p.s. I would gladly take the pictures that (Anna, right?) painted off your hands if they don't match the new decor.
I say go for it - be bold. Choose a killer print that grabs hold of your visitors eyeballs and forces them to look at all your hard work!
I actually took wallpaper down at my paretns house and with some water diluted with fabric softner it wasn't so bad. I dare say it was kinda fun!
i just took wall paper down in our bathroom and it WAS NOT fun. But i hear that modern day wall paper is easier to remove. so go for it! i LOVE LOVE LOVE the map one. that one tempts me.
I don't like the idea. I say no. :)
I LOVE THE IDEA!!! i have been looking for some great wallpaper for months now, if you find some fun interesting prints {that don't cost more than my house} let me know, hey you and I could have a wallpaper hanging party!!!
i vote YES to wallpaper...absolutely love it!
There are wallpapers that are easily removable now days. When you are picking it out -- choose a pattern/color one step bolder/bigger than you think is appropriate for the room.
You'll be delighted with the results. Alot of people think that you have to keep things small scaled in a small room. Not true!
Your ideas are great. You understand alot about design, light, scale, etc. I'm very proud of you.
