Look on eBay then go to @darren Or look on Temple and Webster they have some great paintings and Wallpaper!

Printed photos, in albums or out of them have the tactile quality of "real" irrespective of when they were taken, yesterday or yesteryear. I don't think we will lose that for a few generations yet, if ever. Real (as opposed to 'virtual') albums can be made very specific and/or personalised as opposed to searching a computer, phone or tablet for a folder that has probably everything you shot on a given occasion - searching, searching, searching... Have you ever watched someone searching a computer and trying to make their logic fit their perception of what they are looking for? A real album has a cover, often titled or at least distinctive from others and making that cover or making it distinctive becomes part of its charm. Older photos you may have scanned have their own unique built-in colour too so (e.g. old film) that can bring some retro charm into the exercise, a patina that often relates to time and place - digital files are anonymous until opened, so it's printed for me, unless you are able to find a good digital photo frame. The first image could be something you create as a virtual album cover, a nice little challenge.

Thank you Lizzy, I can see your point. If I had my way, the speakers would go and I would have more discreet. I am not sure what you mean about moving the right hand couch closer. Do you mean move it closer to the right side? The heaters can't be painted however I realise we need to paint the walls. Not sure whether we could just do the same colour down the bottom as what is on top, which would be easy. If it is a complete colour change, that would mean painting the window frames etc, the blinds would have to come down, and it is all too hard. I would like to make the side table more of a focus however that is where my husband sits, so I can't crowd it too much. A new rug is definitely on the list once I get back to work. I would also like to change the coffee table, however it is great storage. I know I need to work on dressing it up a bit. Lizzy, I love your idea of the shelves. Thank you for your inspirational photos. I will look into that. I will also look at changing out the speakers. Thank you so much ladies for your input, I really appreciate it. I find this all very difficult and wish I could just wave a magic want.

Frames from reject stores and op shops. Paint them black. Print photos from your phone at office works that you have screen shot.
