We gleaned this how-to tip, about a temporary way to cover rented walls with fabric, from a reader.

We love the infinite possibilities suggested by this how-to. The end results are virtually limitless.

With Britex downtown, Discount Fabrics in the Haight, and Satin Moon on Clement (known for their decorators' fabrics) you could, theoretically, go to town shopping for color, pattern, or texture for your walls and then wrap your four walls in it without so much as a whiff of toxic VOCs.

The thing is (and we're not among the DIY-challenged) this one does sound rather difficult. So if any of you have tried it, please let us know how it went - or better yet, send pics!
