Something Missing..?

I had a feeling that something was missing from the design of the page. I was on the train heading home for the weekend and I was looking out at all the buildings and old warehouses on the outskirts of each town we went through. I was looking at the texture of what was in front of me, cement, brick, corrugated iron they all made the buildings and streets so much more interesting to look at. That's when I realised that my design was missing a bit of texture. After playing around with a few different things I decided to keep it simple, so the page didn't become too busy, and use a light brickwork pattern on the background of the content area.

I am really pleased with how this now looks so I can concentrate on more on coding the site.
