What would you do if you found yourself renting a home with a giant, gaudy Venetian mural slapping you in the face every time you walked in the front door?
Vicky from The City Cradle had this exact predicament: her landlord stated explicitly that no matter what, the mural stays. So she got creative and painted boards to place over the mural, giving her the more streamlined, mural-free look she desired, and keeping the landlord happy at the same time! Check it out on her blog HERE. Thanks Vicky!
