Weatherize THIS

Check out my cool futuristic weather proofing in my kitchen!  Its real purpose is to obscure the window without a curtain that would just get gross and oily from kitchen splatters and such.  I can't stand doing the dishes at night when it looks pitch black from where I stand looking out but if some creepy psycho were to be standing two feet in front of me looking in - rubbing one out next to my worm bin - I wouldn't even know. 
Bubble wrap and double sided tape

Scrap Fabric Picture Frames

In most 2nd hand stores there are entire isles devoted to picture frames and hideous art, but if you're like me you don't even see the art that is in the frame.  Instead you see a vast assortment of incredibly cheap frames just begging for a make-over.  I also have a ton of really pretty fabric scraps and after flipping through an Anthropologie catalog I got this cool idea that really makes the frames look less shabby and your walls oh so colorful!
Artwork from various etsy sellers - really the best place to buy art

Just takes a glue gun and some old clothes and viola!

These guys came from an illustration manual which I then pasted on some wood blocks.

...more wood blocks...

This is a photo from etsy (look under lomo-something I forget) - you can modge-podge over the photo w/o harming it
