Redesign: Teens Can Do it Themselves

How
to Warm Up Your Winter Decor
The nip of fall is in

cast a shadow over even the cheeriest home décor.
Everyone wants a room with a view, but not everyone
can afford to move to a great location or install
picture windows throughout their home. A wall mural
can turn virtually any wall in your house into a
great "view."
