A Bedroom Makeover In Process

I saw this post over at Apartment Therapy and instantly fell in love with this room and the idea of a bed on the floor. I have been wanting to re-do our bedroom for awhile now, but am on a limited budget. Plus I am a big fan of using what you have already and shopping at thrift stores. So, the first step was to actually put our bed on the floor. We ditched our old metal bed frame and put both mattress and box spring on the floor. At first, I was not sure about it, but then I slept great that night....and every night since we did this. I asked my husband and he said the same thing. So it's on to phase two, making the bed look pretty and rearranging the room (hence the numerous posts yesterday about textile love...I am thinking about making some duvet covers, quilts and throws, maybe even a rug and some curtains). I only wish I could paint the walls. We rent our house and our bedroom has this HORRIBLE floral border at the top of the room and our landlord does not want us to take it down. The wall color is not my first choice, but I can live with it. I can make the paint color work. I have been trying to think of clever ideas to cover/hide the wallpaper and not damage it. Something removable and temporary. Do you know of anything to hide ugly wallpaper? If so, I would love to hear your ideas.
