Creativity Doesn't Have To Be Complicated.

The trick to making a room interesting without getting too complicated is, by adding one large and dramatic piece. Instead of filling the walls with lots of tiny knick-knacks, these rooms use a minimal amount of very bold pieces. Personally, I think bigger is almost always better, (Is this because I'm from Texas?)<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtERN6aHnI/AAAAAAAACIU/sZPE4R6pBaI/s1600-h/Picture+101.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213836056194588274" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtERN6aHnI/AAAAAAAACIU/sZPE4R6pBaI/s800/Picture+101.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 584px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtEREUdlNI/AAAAAAAACIc/B40hieC2xn8/s1600-h/Picture+102.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213836053619512530" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtEREUdlNI/AAAAAAAACIc/B40hieC2xn8/s800/Picture+102.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 514px;" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://desiretoinspire.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Via Desire to Inspire.</span></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtDZKXH-ZI/AAAAAAAACH0/hu-dcjNTWCA/s1600-h/Picture+8.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213835093168617874" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SFtDZKXH-ZI/AAAAAAAACH0/hu-dcjNTWCA/s800/Picture+8.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 386px;" /></a>This picture is from <a href="http://www.thomfilicia.com/index_.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Thom Filicia.</span></a> I've been obsessed with those giant gears, since the first time I saw them.
