Behold the Craftiness

Because Flo the Benevolent Apartment Manager won't let us paint our walls I've been forced to come up with some creative ways to cover the eggshell white.

Behold the craftiness:

Or rather, my dad's craftiness. I've wanted screens for ages but do you know how much they cost? Somewhere between a personal shredder and a stealth bomber. So we just made them.
I came up with the idea, Dad constructed the frame and then we attached the material. Here's a close-up of the fabric.
Don't get to use to the fabric. It's a filler. I have big plans for it. Big plans that involve me figuring out how to applique.
Dad also made me this:
Lovely, huh?
Dear Flo,
Paint is off the list, but you've never said anything about the number of holes we can put in the wall. I'm shooting for the record.
Love, Rachel
