Our last rented condo was brand new. The backsplash area needed something glossy so it could be easily wiped clean. I painted these floral branches for visual interest, and then topped it with a glossy clear coat. I love it when landlords let me paint.
Here it is: my newly acquired vintage Schwinn Varsity. After searching for a few months I found it on Craigslist. It's very crusty and needs a bit of attention before I can ride. A woven basket, bell, and leather seat should do the trick.
