On a visit to my urban apartment a friends commented that I had put "vistas" in every room - and, although it hadn't been conscious, I realize that I had positioned pictures in every room that looked as if they were artistic "windows" to an outside natural world.

I am just at a loss of what to do with this unpopular color.

All it took was some tape to hold them in place and voila!
