    Looks like you could touch that wall by barely extending your arm out the window.

    Could, and did. Same deal in the dining room below, except that someone painted the brick wall white, to get a little more light in, I guess.

    That's where you bring in an artist and have them paint a mural on the wall - painting your favorite scene.

    Yeah, that's what's missing on that wall - graffitti!

    As funny as it initially sounds, painting the walls, I think it's a great idea. The lower one could be a woods, and the 2nd floor could be the tops of the trees overlooking a mountain scene. Really better than brick walls in Phila.
