We ask your fervant prayer and guidance in the matter of deciding what to do with this wall. It has gone astray, it is diseased, it is boring. Pray, we beg you, and reveal any visions that you receive.

What about fabric? I'm assuming you can't paint. But you could do something with a cool fabric.
Well, we can paint. There's some pictures on Katy's blog. We're doing two accent walls yellow. This wall, we're having more problems with hanging pictures. I don't know if we're up to painting the whole room. Were you thinking like hanging a tapestry or something? Tell us more!
Sure, tapestry could work. That would be expensive though.
I was just thinking some cool fabric that you like. If you find one with a pattern you like, you could use it like wallpaper. If you find one with a texture you like (say velvet or something) you could do something sort of drapey and cool.
For example: Matthew found some cool Japanese crane material that he really liked. But I don't sew, and he didn't especially want to wear it--he wanted to look at it. So I had him build a simple wooden frame (basically square dowels hammered together) in the size space he wanted to fill. Then I stretched the fabric over the frame, staple-gunned it, spritzed it with water (to help the fabric shrink a little bit and tighten up on the frame) and voila: a cool, Japanese crane piece of wall art. Super easy, super cheap.
If you found a group of fabrics you liked, you could do a collection of fabric frames of varying sizes which would give the wall some interest, AND fill up the vast white wasteland of wall.
a warm peachy color.
