[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 349417, member: 3444"] LOL, husband does similar stuff. Usually to our bedroom or the livingroom -- I never know when I might find things moved around. Hey, at least all she wants to do is paint. Let her have a go at it! I painted easy child's room a medium lavender two years ago and it looks great. The top 1/3 of her wall I painted a light cream color to match the shelves that run along the perimeter. You could let her hang a rod across the top of the closet and hang a curtain for a closet door. We did this for easy child's room as well. I got a regular wood closet pole from Home Depot, painted it, and used closet pole hangers to mount it. The curtain I got from Ikea -- it has uber-large grommets at the top and the pole runs through them. The curtain comes unhemmed, but includes fusible tape, so you just pin it to the length you want, then fuse it with an iron. Very easy, and looks very nice. Plus it makes access a whole lot easier than the sliding doors we had before. If she wants to get fancy, she could sew ribbon or silk flower petals or some other embellishment on the fabric to jazz it up. AND she can take the curtain with her when she moves out! Wow, how's that for a 2-cups-of-coffee burst of inspiration! [/QUOTE]
