Blinded by the White

Here are some photos of my apartment.  I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where every surface was white.  As soon as I can get a little ahead at school, I'm going to start decorating.  We're allowed to repaint and can buy curtains and throw rugs.  We can also reupholster the furniture, but shouldn't everyone have a sofa with tassels and fake fur?!  Please (PLEASE) send decorating ideas.
