Post your S.O.S. pics!

Do you have a room in your house that you just can't stand. Have you re-painted your living room six times, and it's still not right? I need your pictures!

If you've got a room that needs some love, upload a photo (or two) and send me a link in the comments. We'll use somebody's room as inspiration for an upcoming contest (top-secret!). 

Thanks, I can't wait to see what you guys (and gals) come up with!
