I volunteer to be your decorator. I'm thinking lava lamps and deep purple shag carpet. And boomerang-shaped coffee tables. Nothing like mixing eras. ;)
First thing I'm doing is repainting the bright yellow bedroom walls. For lack of a better option, I'll probably try to match some color on the quilt from my grandmother.
I can do paint and furniture and layout; it's wall hangings, plants, etc that I don't have. Little touches that make it homey. But those should be easy.
Interior Desecrations - by James Lileks. You need to at least look at the pictures. It's filled with photos and commentary of hideous interior design and decoration from the 70s. For example - a plaid room. wallpaper, upholstery, and even the fucking door.

Heh, but thanks. Let's just say having my own place is not only a huge step forward, but "my place or yours" actually has meaning now.

Also, there's a small chance I'll be working in the Seattle area this summer - if so, buy a couch!
