@LIPJON: Yeah, we kind of had a thought about using some kind of tape as a faux-molding to hid those edges that meet the wall.

I think the carpet is old and has been cleaned several times ( not recently though ) and they couldn't get very close to the wall, so that narrow strip is much darker than the rest of the carpet.

I am definitely going to re-paint the the walls. I used the Magic Eraser, but it wasn't doing anything on most the the tougher scuffs.

Does anyone have any advice on dealing with a landlord that seems particularly stubborn about changes and how to go about asking for things like painting and cleaning carpets?

@HUTCHLN: I know for certain that I cannot. The owner is VERY attached to the house the way it is now and is afraid of major changes like that.

@DUANE: It's actually a house... But I'd rather not have to "seal" off that area because It helps to open up the adjoining room.

Thanks everyone for the good advice. I think I'm heading in the direction of a slipcover. Does anyone know the price-range of custom slipcovers or a good website that has a wide range of slipcovers?

So I have a great couch that I bought at a consignment store about 4 years ago. It's gone through 3 moves and a kitten and I really need to give it a makeover. I've been trying to find any DIY tutorials and such but haven't been lucky. I've never touched a sewing machine, so it's possible that I might not even be able to do it myself. Does anyone have suggestions of articles to read?
