Painting the partition
We've lived in the same apartment in Brookline for almost six years. When we first moved in, a friend's father built a wall between the living room and dining room spaces so we could make one into a bedroom (which is now mine). We never invested in making it look nice because we figured we needed to make it easy to remove if we decided to move out. But now that we've settled in and the landlord would likely want there to be an additional bedroom anyway, we chose to camouflage it a bit this weekend. Not bad for plywood, eh?
