I have done this on a place that I own. It came off pretty easily and the difference is dramatic. A million times better after painting. The whole purpose was to hide sloppy drywall joints in cheap buildings, but my ceiling was pretty flat so it didnt matter. It may be the reason the landlord won't allow it. It dosen't hurt to ask though because none of the other solutions seem half as nice.

Favorite color is red.

Hey! You posted my photos. Thanks for all the props. Actually this garden is the result of 2 years of hit and miss. When I moved in the patio looked like a beige prison cell. Really depressing with no views so I created one. I had to experiment with what plants would work with the limited sunlight I get and I killed a few things before it got to this. I'm always changing it around so it looks a little different now. I live across the street from a Longs Drug that has an amazing garden center and almost all my plants are from their markdown section. Every time I think I can't fit any more I manage to squeeze some more on this 11 x 11 deck. I think the final touch will be a fountain of some sort. (Full disclosure: I have a satellite dish in there too so it's not all rainbows and puppies)

I would be careful about tearing walls down. I recently did a kitchen remodel in my condo and wanted to tear a wall down but I couldn't do it. It turned out to be a major structural wall and couldn't be touched. It also housed a internal vacuum which I never use, a phone jack, electrical switches and an outlet. Hopefully you'll be luckier than me but at the least it looks like you'll lose a phone jack and heater.

and no bears were harmed in the making of this blanket

i have never sent out holiday cards before, maybe now is the time to start.

TWIGS! I need more of those in my life.

I hope I win at least one of these great prizes.

My grandfather in Japan had a pair just like these, brings back memories...

those look so snuggly and cozy...
