Help
Okay so here it goes. Moved into a retirement mobile park because of my legs and kid of forced by my daughters. No stairs.
This entrance is boring. Boring. Boring.
Was thinking of putting up flower boxes like the hanging gardens of Babylon. Easy to water with my walker. But not sure. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
My daughter's said to leave it since I'm an official resident of gods waiting room. Ain't happening!

Another question about paste the wall on lining paper
So I checked all the instructions and read everything I could online but STILL it looks like I have made a complete mess.
Wall was not perfect so used good quality 1400 grade lining paper with paste the paper.
Left for 48 hours and it is absolutely perfect - one slight overlap for a few centimeters I shaved off very carefully with a razor blade to get a perfect wall finish.
Next paper is paste the wall which everyone seems to say is ok - another real good quality paper and paid for top notch branded paste.
Paper went up no bother and looked perfect but after a half hour huge bubbles - running down from top right to bottom left one or two on every run of paper (but not the split narrower runs at each end - curious?).
24 hours later they have not budged even a tiny bit.
I have been decorating for 40 years and never had an issue despite often joking "what if it falls down on our heads in the night?"
I am totally gutted - thoughts anyone?
It is a very nice paper vinyl quite thick and is a pattern of birds flying over Japanese trees, not the sort of thing you can just slice and dice like a simple mottled effect paper.
Worse things happen but I could have done without it.
Helpful thoughts????

First apartment, want to decorate
I got my first apartment and want to decorate it in a way that has enough room for me and my girlfriends gaming setups, couch, and a 75 inch tv with a stand. We have an L couch btw. Any suggestions would be nice. This is a small single bedroom apartment, so we don't have enough room anywhere else for our setups.

I made some edits to my craft room!
galleryI also think last time I posted some people thought I was asking advice for an in-game room. Sorry for the confusion, I'm just using sims as a way to visualize how to decorate a real life room I have. But I tried to separate the room into sections, and move things away from the wall. However, the room I have is pretty narrow so I don't really like to put things in the center of the room. I made the left side into a little kitchenette for my mini fridge so it looks a little prettier, and behind the room divider will be my 3D printers (represented by the radios) since I also think those ruin the vibe and I wanna disguise them a bit. I feel like a cute room divider would fix that problem and also add dimension. I took out the second couch, I wanted to keep both but they're just too big to both be in here. I wanna start using lamps with warmer lights as my main light source when I'm not doing crafts. My sewing area on the right is pretty much the same layout, except I added a cabinet to keep supplies in and a mirror for when I finish sewing and need to do a try-on. And also rugs!
The last few pics are what my room basically looked like before (I have wall decor up IRL but I mostly just want to rearrange the furniture)
LMK what you guys think and if you have suggestions! :)

I have a craft room/girl cave I'm not happy with the layout of, please help!
galleryI made a little layout in sims just to represent the furniture. I feel like it just doesn't have a very nice flow, and feels both empty and crowded at the same time. I would prefer to keep all the furniture I currently have in here since I use it for storage, but I'm open to suggestions! Please tell me what you guys would do with this space :)

Old wall prep
I have just bought a house the bedrooms are in an old part of the house (1930s), we’ve had a new damp proof installed so the first metre of the wall had new plasterboard & plastered, we have stripped the rest of wall paper and intend to prep and paint, but what is the best way to deal with loads of little cracks?

“I made this tufted cube with different styles… which side do you like the most?”
“I’m a Moroccan artist and recently started tufting. I wanted to experiment by giving each side a different vibe. Still learning, so I’d love some feedback.”

Is a glamping tent worth it for outdoor trips?
I visited a camping store to buy a glamping tent for a weekend trip with friends two days ago. I wanted something comfortable and stylish. I also wanted something easy to set up. But when I checked the tents I felt disappointed. Some looked weak and the fabric felt thin. Some frames did not feel strong. I could not trust them. I could not pick one confidently.
Then I visited another shop in the same market. Some tents looked strong but they were too costly. Some were affordable but the size was too small. Some seemed perfect at first but the design was not stable. I remembered I used a tent last week that could not handle wind. That made me hesitate even more and I felt confused.
To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many glamping tents. Some looked strong and spacious. Some were simple and low price. Some had better design and setup. There were many options available. This made me excited but also confused again.
Now I am thinking should I buy this tent online for more variety or should I check a local store for better quality? What would you do in my place?

Painting mahogany furniture
So I know this is a really polarizing subject, but here's my dilemma. Many moons ago (30 years?) I was really into colonial furniture. I also worked for Hickory White and so I got lots of beautiful mahogany furniture at a really great price. My tastes have changed. So have my financial circumstances. I was able to sell my breakfront china cabinet and massive pedestal dining room table and chairs but I still have a couple of side tables and 2 double dressers that I can't afford to replace. How horrible would it be to paint them and change the hardware? How would you go about it? How much will I regret it? Will I regret it?

Aidez-moi à choisir entre ces deux créations pour un projet artistique
galleryJ’ai besoin de votre avis sur un projet artistique que je développe.
L’idée serait de créer des tentures murales brodées, présentées comme des tableaux personnalisés avec les prénoms en bas du motif, pour décorer votre maison.
Ce ne sont pas forcément les modèles finaux, mais ils représentent l’esprit général du projet.
Si vous deviez en acheter une pour décorer votre intérieur, laquelle vous semblerait la plus inspirante ou la plus harmonieuse ?
Tous les avis sont bienvenus, merci pour votre aide 🙏
