Ugly Pictures To Cover
I`m renting a "old historical" community hall for my wedding/reception. In this hall there are several "ugly" pictures to cover. While I can`t cover each and every one, there are 2 that are hidious that I need to cover. I`m having a difficult time figuring out what I can cover them with that won`t look tacky. Any ideas would be appreciated

You could use fabric and drape it across the walls in a pretty fashion and just make sure the drapes cover the pictures. Fabric can get expensive, try ebay, but another less expensive idea is to go to a party store and buy a roll of vinyl tablecloth material. It`s lightweight and would have the look of fabric, but without the cost (I discovered them yesterday for $9.95 and I believe it has like 40 yards on it). The tablecloth material comes it lots of different colors so I`m sure you`ll find something you like and I doubt anyone will realize what it is. Also, you could try creating swags over the pitctures where you just have one drape and then have two long ends that hang straight down on either side of the drape. If that made any sense. It`s hard to say what would look good without seeing the venue, but hopefully this gives you ideas of where to start. Good luck!
