Curing white wall syndrome on the cheap - Home Tiki Bars

I used reed fencing on the walls and kept it in place with fishing wire strung between screw eyes and a few carefully placed nails in door frames. All the support was completely invisible and landlord safe. Nails in the side of the door frame are not noticed... The ceiling was covered in burlap first, which hid the white and was just stapled up. Staples came out and no holes were visible. Burlap is like $10 for 50 feet. The thatch ceiling was done by getting in the attic, which you may not have access to, and drilling very small holes up so that I could put a wire into the attic and screw to a joist. Then the entire thatch ceiling was hung from these wires. It took 8 wires to do it and again, when the wires were removed you could not see the holes left behind.
