Have you got something to hide??? If it’s your old walls and furniture, check out these designer 911 shortcuts:

BURLAP: Use burlap instead of expensive wallpaper. It’s about three dollars a yard and is THE look of the moment. Just staple gun it to the walls and finish off with thin twine or rope.
(Rose Brand Theatrical Supply 800-223-1624 or Baer Fabrics 800-769-7778 for catalog)

Decorate your burlap walls with wooden bees spray painted black.
(The Decorators Supply Corp 773-847-6300 for catalog)

VINYL: Use black vinyl to upholster anything from a kitchen banquette to a Louise XVl chaise. Expect to pay from $10-$15 a yard.
(General Rubber Fabric Co. 800-523-0958 or Baer Fabrics 800-769-7778)

BAMBOO: Bamboo shades give a global look to travel worn walls. Cut them to fit and staple gun them to the wall. Available at most import stores starting at $12.

CHICKEN WIRE: Hide knick-knacks, books, and stereo equipment behind chicken wire or wire mesh cabinet doors from the hardware store. Just staple gun the wire or mesh to replace the old glass in cabinet doors. Or, staple it to the back of pre-made screen doors or window frames you can attach with hinges to the front of your bookcase.
