We have a boy and we wanted to paint one of the rooms a boyish color, they wont let us paint it because its custom painted, hand painted with a sponge. I respect that, but can anyone else help me figure out how to decorate the room so my son has a boyish looking room, I have heard maybe I can hang bed sheets the color I want over the walls, but thats probably tacky.... PLEASE HELP!!!

Let him cover the walls with posters of the things he likes.

Posters on the walls and models like airplanes, motorcycles, cars hanging from the ceiling or sitting around on furniture might help. How old is the boy? Is the "boyish" room to please him or you? It might help you get better recommendations if you post a little more detail.

You can find some cotton material that you like, fold it in quarters then lay it in a tray. Use liquid starch and wet the material well. Do not wring material, more like squeeze out excess starch. Now spread material over the wall, use your hand or a soft brush to smooth the material out. Let it dry before you trim off excess material. When you get ready to move just peel material off of the wall and wash. You can rinse the wall lightly if you think you need to:~) The material needs to be 100% cotton to work

yikes! A paint job no rely if custom painted or no longer over a volume of time should be redone. maximum something you probably did to cover it up could harm the partitions or the paint. you are going to be able to desire to easily use masculine assessories and conceivable the colour will fade into the returned floor. Or talk over with the owner and attempt to get him to permit you repaint the room, you would be paying the lease and residing there, no longer him.

Well you didn't specify what color the walls actually are...but you can buy peel n stick wall decals and borders that are more boyish in theme. Maybe you can work the color into some kind of decorative scheme.

There's no reason, you can't repaint, before moving in.
I suggest a light blue of some kind, with dark blue stripes.
Perhaps white ceiling with glow in the dark decorations.

And this is in Cooking & Recipes - Why!?!?!
You don't say what colors the rooms currently are. If not pink, but more of a purple or something like that, then black accessories and pillows could blend. Or a lot of dark navy or dark green. You really should give us more info to try to help you.

Why can't you paint in your own house? I am not getting that. Is it because it's a rented house? If so, then don't paint. If you bought the house, paint the rooms however you feel like.

Use screens around the room and add various different coloured accessories.
