So what if your house has a bad view, exposed pipes, or cracked walls...it's time to flaunt the flaws you've tried so hard to camouflage. It's all a matter of perception. What you think are flaws actually give your home personality and an eclectic edge, but it takes a little confidence and inspiration to know where to start. Hopefully, these interiors will motivate you to break a few decorating rules of your own:

If these walls could talk, the damaged paint and molding would tell many tales. Enhance exposed architectural details with blue and violet paint.
