Title: Give me some ideas!
Post by: dazie on August 06, 2005, 10:46:35 PM
Since I have sworn off ever EVER painting the walls in a rental place again thanks to my dickweed former property manager, I am currently stuck with nasty flat paint stark white walls.  I mean EVERYTHING is painted flat white.  The walls, the trim, the doors, the windowsills...

I kinda loathe it. 

What cool suggestions do you have to cover my walls, neatly, cheaply and with ease of removal should we chose to not purchase the house?

Beefcake BigDun is all-purpose.  But may I suggest velcro for the application?

If you have a good ink jet printer, why don't you decorate each room with 8.5x11 prints from the photos/artwork of the people of Junto. You could dedicate each room to one member. One room could be vikingjuice's Colorado pics, one could be Beefy's NASA photos, one for pics alice's art, one for pics of nallen's artwork, and I've posted some of my stuff from travels to Ireland and SF in the Pictures thread.

I'm sure we could all supply you with higher res work that would print out nicely.

hire all your guy friends to come over.. give them 10 bucks, pizza, all the beer they can drink and tell them they ahve to watch 12 porn movies and "paint" the wall when they are done..


That will teach your property manager not to mess with you

Aluminum foil.  It protects you from the brain scans.

I was thinking of that.  Get some sheets- do the JP thing, velcro them up.

It might only be good at night, but my brother used colored lights (light cans from Target, and real fixtures from a theatre).

i'll take it seriously....

i recently painted sage green, but I actually like that sort of light coffee-ish brown.  Then I would put one of those mosaic type photography things.  you know like its a Brady Bunch Square with the picture chopped up.  Then on one side pics of the family.

I like that idea.  But I can't paint the walls.  hm.  Wonder if I could find fabric in that color?
