I remember writing this one, Game Ideas Unlimited: My North Wall. I remember sitting at this desk, staring at that wall, examining each item as I moved from east to west across it.
It helps, perhaps, that the wall has not changed that much. The painting is still there. So is the cabinet, and the television. Those are probably the big objects. Nearly all the little ones are gone, including the speaker for the PA system, which found use with 7dB and might again with Collision.
The interesting aspect of the article was the exploration of how to get world and adventure ideas from very common objects.
The painting is missing from the article. You might have to buy the book to see it. I remember posting to ask Aaron whether it (and the sketch from an upcoming article) were still preserved on the server somewhere that I could restore them, but have not gotten an answer to that yet, so he's probably overlooked it with everything else he has to do. Too bad--looking for the leprechaun was one of the really fun things people liked about this one. However, perhaps we'll get that fixed soon enough.
As always, feel free to comment here on what you read there.
