when in doubt mulch it out

We decided to invite some friends over last weekend so I bought mulch. I cannot emphasize how much better it made the yard look. First of all it draws your eye away from the rusty chain link and brings it down to the color contrast between the mulch and the flowers. I’m so tempted to just have the whole yard filled with mulch. Would that be so wrong? Or we could do the less lawn thing.

Also, please ignore the crappy camp chairs.
