Do a fabric covering,something that doesn't mess up the wall and you can change fairly easy.

yeah...like a big oriental rug

or bed sheets...with moons, stars and planets on it...then get a blacklight...a bob marley poster...

I think it looks pretty cool, really.

Or maybe I'm just biased because I've lived my entire life in boring-as-hell earth tone colored homes. My mother has the decorative instinct of a teapot, and my apartment's colors are just cheap and boring.

I'm no guru, but it looks like the brick has some calcification on it. This occurs when brick, which is porous, draws moisture from an outside source. You'd need seal the out/other side and then clean the brick and seal it before painting it. Otherwise, I think the paint might not take.

But the flaking paint on brick look can be kinda cool if you are going for the "aged" look. I just don't know if the rest of your place would pull it off. It would probably be best to have a nice shiny coat on there. Smaller rooms with lower ceilings do better with lighter colors, so you probably don't want to get too dark with the color, unless the room gets a lot of natural light.

That's a good idea. Some kind of unusual tapestry or rug might pull it off.

I love earthtones and brick too, but this brick really seems to clash with her furniture and the rest of the apartment. You have to have the right color furniture, art, other walls to pull that off.
