Easy shirt dress DIY
If you find a shirt large enough, that's in good condition and (especially if you're worried about making mistakes) inexpensive/free, you could cut the sleeves to desired length, hem it, and use excess fabric to make a belt. Or just use a belt you already have.
If you need to, you could pinch and pin to a better fit around the sleeves and side seams. Pinch and pin darts if you need to as well... It's about making it having a fit that you like, so you would have to play around with it. But then, my friends, you would have this shirt dress.
If it's a bit to short for your comfort, it would look cute with leggings or jeans too
And-- to add the awesomeness-- it's sweatshop-free
** An update, I realized that not everyone knows what pinching and pinning is, so here is the video I used to learn how to tailor shirts.

Poetry on walls
I saw this on Honestly...WTF, and I loved it
To do something similar in your own home, get some stencils and paint and your favorite poem or quote... then open out the windows so your air is less toxic paint smelling...
and BAM the room is officially awesome.
Easy peasy
