home sweet rental

I'm getting antsy in our little rental. i've got the new-furniture-fever, which i get about twice a year. (and it's very expensive to medicate, trust.) it's just hard because a) i can't get an opinion out of husband and b) i'm not exactly sure of what i want. Plus we can't paint. and i really, really like the idea of slate colored walls with crisp white crown molding. what's a po' girl to do?
