12 DIY's To Add Pizazz to a Generic Space

080509_diy.jpgSometimes we looks around our space and want to change everything. We're starting off with beige wall to wall, beige walls and those awful vertical blinds so there's plenty of room for improvement. But we're renting and we don't plan on being here for years and years, so we just want some easy DIY's to add character to the place:

Good ideas. Love the lamp. My sister loves to knit...maybe I can ask for a present for Christmas :)

We have a small rental with an odd wall by the kitchen. I painted it black and hung up a beautiful white antique ornate fireplace mantle with gorgeous pillar details down the side. In the center I hung up 4 staggered wall candle sconces and it look so beautiful with the candles lit. Put some oddities on the mantle shelf and it looks amazing...The whole thing cost me about $50!!
