Temporarily 'hiding' wallpaper borders
We will be moving into a 1 yr lease (option to buy) in a couple of weeks. We won't be painting but I really don't like the wallpaper borders in the kitchen, master bath & kids room.
We've thought about asking the owners if we can remove it ourselves but considering that they had the entire interior painted 2 yrs ago & didn't remove the "builder upgrade" wallpaper border, I'm guessing they like it even though it's 10 yrs old.
It won't kill my sensibilities to live with it, LOL, but it's not my cup of tea. Does anyone have any ideas of how to camouflage those borders temporarily (i.e. without painting over it)?
Crown molding would be permanent, imo.....
I can't see how you could camouflage the borders, there's so much of it....
I find your rooms still look airy and not closed off, despite the borders.
I'm sure someone here must have an easy fix, I can't think of any.
Try a trick using fabric and starch to cover them. You will still have a "border" but you get to select what is will be. When it comes time to move it is quick and easy to remove.
Check out decorating websites that cater to those who are renters for 'quick remove' decorating ideas. One I like is www.ApartmentTherapy.com.
Tips for using starch:
Don't look up!
In all seriousness, the bathroom and bedroom borders are not all that bad, but the kitchen border would drive me crazy! I like the fabric idea, but that would require $$$ and labor with cutting it to the correct width, etc. Could you find another border to cover? Do you think you will be buying the house in the future?
I also dislike borders so I feel your pain. I think I would try purchasing a paintable border, if there is such a thing, and painting it as close to the current wall color as you can get. Then instead of using the wallpaper adhesive, I would use bradnails and hang the painted border over the current one. That way when its time to move and you remove the nails, the old border is still intact. I dont think you would notice the nails that high up. If you cant find a paintable border, I would buy a paintable wall paper and cut it to the correct width.
For the kitchen, maybe blinds or roman shaded to cover the border near windows. Then covering the rest of the border, a light wooden coat/hat rail attached with very few and narrow nails. Or wide, flat balsa wood tacked up a bit like crown moulding. Or inexpensive Styrofoam-like crown moulding.
Just as a note, if you do tack something up with nails of any kind, you will put holes in the walls (probably in the borders). If the homeowners do not want you to remove the borders, they may also be distraught if you put holes in the borders.
View it as a rental and work around it. Anything you don't own, you will have issues that you wish you could change. My advice is to simply ask instead of assuming that they won't let you remove it. Be tactful and just ask if you may remove it. Otherwise, just ignore it and work with your furnishings to make it all feel like home for a year.
Ummmm, no way do anything to the property without permission. We let a couple stay in our MA house winter before last, and they only paid for utilities. However, they took advantage of the situation and broke things, moved things, destroyed 2 thermostats, and spilled chemicals upstairs which bled through the plaster and ruined a spot on the ceiling of the living room below. I was thankful that it missed the wool rug and the original treasured art work over the mantle, which was about 15 inches away.
If you have a lease or a contract, I'd be VERY sure to read it and comply with the terms. We were being "nice" to friends and had nothing but a verbal agreement, but it sure did mess up a friendship that they did not respect our property. This last winter when they again needed a place to stay up north, our house was "unavailable."
Thanks for all the feedback & links.
We are not of the mind to change anything without permission in writing. Our current landlady gave us verbal permission to "do whatever you want with the place...I don't care!". We'd vastly improved it (trimming the tree limbs off of her roof where it was causing damage, removing 2 dead trees in the backyard as well as hauling 2 huge "gardener" trailers of dead brush, vines, etc...(the neighbors across the fairway actually came to our backyard on Thanksgiving Day - golf course closed for the holidy - to THANK us!), painting the interior in "designer" colors, replacing the carpet in the nursery & other repairs.
While we had no written or formal agreement, we had thought we might buy the house but after living in it for 10 mos & seeing how much work it would take, landlady's adamant refusal to budge on price (seriously at least 20k over market value in this neighborhood) and general "empty-nester" feel, we didn't think it was the right house or neighborhood to raise our 2 yr olds. I think that REALLY made her angry even though she'd been here in December & ooh'd & aah'd over everything we'd done. Last week? It was a whole different story & amidst all our packing with a double dose of Terrible Two's, I'm trying to repaint the dining room, hallways & kitchen. Ugh. Of course, she's not asking for us to remove the new carpeting or return the Hurricane Ike damaged roof or dead landscaping.
So...we learned a big lesson there.
The house we're moving into this time is in our desired neighborhood so the potential to buy it at the end of our lease is definitely there. We've already asked to do some things to make wheelchair accessibility for DH (all written into contract) with the understanding that we will return it to original state prior to vacating (should we vacate).
I'm just not sure how to approach the subject of the wallpaper border without inadvertently offending the owners. Granted, from what I've seen, they don't have a real sense of style so hopefully they would like what I would do & actually make it more "sellable" (the house sat on the market for over 5 mos which is why we called the realtor to see if they would consider leasing to us). As I've thought about this today, perhaps I should wait & live in the house for a few months before asking to remove the borders. The owners still live in the neighborhood but moved into a larger house; we may have occasion to speak to them on a more casual basis & I might be able to get an idea of their feelings on the wallpaper or WHY the heck they never bothered to take it down when they bought the house.
Going to Apartment Therapy was a great idea! I feel kind of "duh" for not thinking of going there for temporary solutions.
If I utilize any of the ideas, I'll repost!
Thanks for your time in answering my question!
Its too bad that you didn't ask before signing the lease. That is the time that the landlords could be insulted and it wouldn't matter. I have rentals. Its helpful to know what renters like or don't like about my place and what I have to do to rent it. If I were the landlord and were asked about the borders by a potential tenant I would get the hint that they were not neutral enough and that it might be difficult to rent with the wall paper borders.
Maybe you could say, I hope this isn't offensive but how would you feel if I take down the wall paper borders? We love your house and that would make it work even better for us. We sure would love to buy your house at the end of our lease.
Well, I wish you good luck in getting permission to take down the border. My experience has been that people who don't have a sense of style are the ones least likely to want to change once they have accepted a decorating feature. And the concept of decorating features going in and out of style is completely foreign to them.
Perhaps they didn't take it down because taking down wallpaper is a pain in the patooty, and paying someone to do it is expensive. They may hate it just as much as you do, but didn't feel like shelling out to have it removed.
It couldn't hurt to ask (nicely) -- I always find it easier to blame someone else for the suggestion, as in, "oh, my mom came to visit and she said I should ask you if we can take down the wallpaper border in the bedroom because it totally clashes with the comforter she bought us last Christmas" -- if you get a horrified, "how dare you touch my precious wallpaper!" look, you segue right into "But isn't that a silly suggestion - I LOVE your wallpaper border!" OTOH, if you get a look of relief that screams "thank goodness, I never could stand that stuff either" you know you've got the green light to start ripping!
Good luck!
I agree, it wouldn't hurt to ask nicely if you can take it down. They might be perfectly alright with it as long as you can match the texture and paint that is already on the wall.
While I'm not crazy about the borders I don't think they are all that bad and I probably wouldn't bother if I was only going to live there a year. But that's me, if they REALLY bother you then ask nicely.
It is very unlikely that you will encounter a perfectly painted wall with a well-cut ceiling edge under that border. People often use borders to avoid having to cut in at the ceiling.
I love wallpaper and borders and have lots of it in my home. I have also removed lots of it. If it's well-prepped and sized, it should be easy to remove but you will ALWAYS be able to see where it was, even if there was a perfect paint job underneath the border to begin with. IMO, anything you try to rig to cover it will be just as obvious as the border itself, and if you try to take it down you don't know what you will encounter underneath.
It's only a year....maybe a looong year if you hate the paper, but it's only a year......it's only a year......
Hmmm, your experience with the landlord indicates that she is an on-again off-again disposition. What is okay one time is NOT okay the next. Red flag!!!!!! Is she on medication?
Without a sense of style, I bet she sees the wallpaper border, which seriously lacks creating a horizon line or anything, simply follows the contours of the up/down wall heights, she must see it as a big home improvement worth big bucks. Quite possibly she'd see its removal as decreasing her property value, you know. Do you have a deposit in her control?
Truly be sure to get in writing any permissions to take down something that could be part of the real property.
When we were buying a home from an elderly woman (elderly meaning about 10 years older than me), the attorney told us to deal at arms length with her, so her kids could not claim we were taking advantage of her. Whooo, that was a trip, because it worked the other way totally, but no harm done being careful.
As they say, *CYA*, protect yourself. :)
Here's a possible way to cover the border w/minimal damage.
Staple heavy duty Velcro strips onto border > then also attach Velcro to painted boards cut to fit lengths/angles...and are wide enough to cover everything.
Flexible caulk could be used to make at corners or at butted areas,
Try to get by w/as few staples as possible if and when you have to remove.
Depending, you may also be able to use a lightweight crown attached to wood too.
Hi all - thanks again for your ideas.
We're almost moved in and after spending a few afternoons in the house, I'm thinking I can live with the wall paper borders. As I looked at the sunflower border in the kitchen, it turns out that the sunflowers are actually beige, outlined in black with the blue background. It's definitely not my thing but it's ok for a year. My children keep pointing to the moon & stars in their room. Who am I to take away their moon & stars when their current window gives them access to the moon & stars outside but the new one won't? ;)
In all honesty, the fact that I am having to repaint everything we painted here back to a white has been so aggravating considering she gave us verbal carte blanche to do whatever we wanted. Lessons definitely learned: get it in writing!!!! Right now, I have no desire to alter any painting or wall paper at the new place. We'll see after a few months when I know I'll be itching to do something!
In the midst of helping my daughter paint her whole house interior, so I understand you backtracking on your idea. lol

Race in the Modern World
The Problem of the Color LineKwame Anthony Appiah
Give Ghani a ChanceJonah Blank
Israel and the United States share the same strategic goal: preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The intelligence services of both countries are also largely in agreement on the status of the Iranian program. But they remain deeply divided on what to do about it. Here's how to bring them together.
With the intervention in Yemen, Saudi Arabia's military is trying to kill several birds with one stone: safeguard the country from an immediate military threat, assert its leadership of the Arab world, and redress what it sees as a geopolitical imbalance in the Middle East between itself and Iran.
In a YouTube address last November, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif dropped Tehran's usual mantra about Iran's right to enrich and spoke instead of negotiating with dignity. The video went viral in Iran, and the sentiment behind it seems to be paying off in Geneva.
Urban migration has been particularly unkind to the small town of Nagoro, population 35. One woman fights the emptiness by creating life-sized dolls for every inhabitant who either dies or moves away.
Although ISIS defeats in Tikrit and other Sunni areas would seem like good things, the United States should tread carefully. The air campaign against ISIS in Iraq has reached its limits; more strikes won't help against ISIS and will only further destabilize the sectarian balance in the country. It is time to take the battle further north to Syria.
The ultimate victory in Israeli elections belongs not to Netanyahu but to the country's right wing. The results showed that this force has become a permanent majority—a strength that comes regardless of who leads it.
Books & Reviews
Russian President Vladimir Putin's vaunted "stability" has turned into spoliation. The methods he used to fix the corrupt, dysfunctional post-Soviet state have produced yet another corrupt, dysfunctional state—and unfortunately, there is no end to it in sight.
In the Magazine
What accounts for the continuity of racial inequality in a postracist America? The fact that an earlier era's racism was built into the structure of various economic, social, and political institutions, so that even their race-neutral operations today produce imbalanced outcomes.

Latest Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum Stories
This isn't the first time global warming has occurred. But will we survive it again?
Some 56 million years ago, a massive pulse of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere sent global temperatures soaring. In the oceans, carbonate sediments dissolved, some organisms went extinct and others evolved.
While scientists have known for several years that some mammals became smaller during a period of warming known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, researchers have found a second instance of mammalian "dwarfing" attributable to increasing temperatures.
A new study, led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, reveals the look of the oceans will change drastically in the future as the coming greenhouse world alters marine food webs and gives certain species advantages over others, if history's closest analog is any indication.
Microscopic ocean algae called coccolithophores are providing clues about the impact of climate change both now and many millions of years ago.
A series of global warming events called hyperthermals that occurred more than 50 million years ago had a similar origin to a much larger hyperthermal of the period, the Pelaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), new research has found.
The world's oceans may be acidifying more rapidly than they have at any time in the past 300 million years due to high levels of pollution, according to research published this week in the journal Science.
The ancient sifrhippus, the earliest known horse, lived around 50 million years ago. It was very distinct in its appearance because it was only about the size of a modern day house cat, weighing in around 12 pounds.
Rice researchers show ocean could have contained enough methane to cause drastic climate change.
Warmer temperatures and a lack of water are causing some types of plants and animals to become smaller, claims a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

What I'm Thankful For …
All over Facebook I keep seeing everyone do what they are thankful for each day. It started the 1st of November and runs until Thanksgiving.
All over Facebook I keep seeing everyone do what they are thankful for each day. It started the 1st of November and runs until Thanksgiving.
I've gotten pretty good at using my Thanksgiving leftovers, but there are a few that I just don't quite know what the heck to do with?
What's the worst thing that could happen for Thanksgiving? A turkey shortage?
In Canada a school fined a mom $10 all because she didn't provide a grain in her child's lunch.
Yesterday I discovered the Kmart Joe Boxer 'Jingle Bell' commercial. I died laughing! I thought it was hilarious! Probably not something I would want my 7 and 9 year old watching.
It finally happened on Friday! The "For Sale" sign went up in front of our house and the add was published in the real estate guide.
I recently found out that some of my friends consider my request for everyone to remove their shoes when they come into our home to be rude. I was shocked, horrified and embarrassed!
If you are sick of Turkey and too tired from shopping to cook dinner, then round up the family and head to Naches for a delicious salmon dinner.
My kid's Jackson and Shaylee LOVE watching the video 'What Does The Fox Say?' on Youtube. It would drive me CRAZY! Now, I just sing along and dance around.
As your tucking your child in bed you could soon be reading them the book 'What Does The Fox Say?' The YouTube video is being made into a children's book, which will hit stores December 10th
If your a farmer around cows all the time then this cologne might be right up your alley. It's called Farmers Cologne from a company in Maine and it sells for $110 a bottle. The scent will not upset the sensitive noses of cows. It's made with naturals oils, essences such as sandalwood, sage, and blue tansy that creates a woody, earthen musk, with only a hint of pungency found in mainstream cologne.
It's been a tradition at Naches Valley High School as long as I can remember, donkey basketball. It was the highlight of the school year to see teachers and students trying to play basketball on donkeys
Naches High School has a Tolo this month and I thought for sure that the girl Benjamin took to Homecoming would ask him to Tolo. We even came up with a creative way to ask her to Homecoming! BUT NO ... yesterday she asked a different boy!

text: David Guetta Left Red Faced Following Pre-Recorded Set Gaffe Stu July 25, 2013 Clubbing 28 Comments Share the post "David Guetta Left Red Faced Following Pre-Recorded Set Gaffe" FacebookTwitterGoogle+Pinterest At a recent show in Paris the pop star, David Guetta, was forced to flee the stage in embarrassment when at the start of his show he hit the play button on the wrong track. Instead of hearing Guetta's usual pop-house hits, fans were inadvertently treated to a personal self help CD that had been prescribed to Guetta for treatment of crippling chorophobia – the irrational fear of dancing. Guetta took to Twitter to release the following statement: "To all my fans, I'm sorry that you had to find out that I have been pre-recording sets and not playing live." "Please understand that this is not due to lack of talent or laziness but because of this crippling phobia, for which I am seeking professional help, as was heard when I accidentally hit play on my coping CD." The EDM star claimed that the condition developed in childhood following a dancing accident at a school talent show which left the performer "acutely embarrassed" and a "confirmed bed wetter." The pop star went on to further say that ordinarily he doesn't "even look at the crowd. I'll just twiddle some knobs on the mixing desk thingy. When I do have to look up to the crowd I'll close my eyes as if enjoying myself, or I'll let my golden locks dangle in front of my eyes so I don't see people dancing." "Ironically with no-one dancing it probably would have been one of my shows that I would have actually enjoyed."

...to reach out further towards empowering our stakeholders
in agriculture and fisheries.
...to make our extension service available which in turn will
entice and prod farmers to come to us.
...link policymakers, researchers, business organizations and
farm communities in an open environment.
The Department of Agriculture through the Agricultural Training Institute and the Spread Organic Agriculture in the Philippines (SOAP) Movement will be releasing the second edition of the only Organic Agriculture Directory in the country.
After it has been launched during the 9th National Organic Agriculture Congress in Cebu last November 2012, the directory has been in demand for all farmers, producers and suppliers, even consumers who are into organic farming and who are planning to venture into organic agriculture.
From production to marketing, the organic agriculture chain is now complete with the conceptualization and soon establishment of an organic fastfood. The food chain is another idea of Director Asterio Saliot of Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) to address and provide market for organic producers equipped by the Institute. This plan was officially put into blue print by Dr. Frank Dela Peña, ATI's partner in providing livelihood to the marginalized through promoting organic agriculture.
QUEZON CITY -- Part of the advocacies in organic agriculture is to encourage urban residents to grow their own food and put up small farms in their backyards. In this line, included in the Agricultural Training Institute's Telemagazine OA series is a feature on Liezl Jose's urban farming practice that integrates aquaponics.
BENGUET -- The first leg of the video shoot for the Telemagazine on Organic Agriculture (OA) being produced by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) was conducted in La Trinidad, Benguet last August 4 to 8, 2014. The practitioners featured and interviewed were Pat Acosta of Master's Garden and Felix Tan of Garden of Life.
DILIMAN, Quezon City – The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) is currently producing a Telemagazine that features selected Organic Agriculture (OA) practitioners in the country. Aside from promoting the best practices of OA, the Telemagazine aims to capacitate individuals and improve the understanding and application of principles and best practices among the existing organic farmer practitioners.
DOLORES, Quezon – The fourth leg of the bloggers' event for Organic Agriculture (OA) organized by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) travelled up to the vicinity of Mount Banahaw and Mount Cristobal to explore a well-preserved land hidden in the midst – the Bangkong Kahoy Valley Nature Retreat and Field Study Center.
Committed in promoting and advocating organic agriculture in the country, the Agricultural Training Institute led by its Director Asterio Saliot, has laid out strategies that would encourage its stakeholders' involvement in such. Among these involve transforming farmlands into tourism destinations such as the: Learning Sites, Schools for Practical Agriculture, Farm Business Schools, and Ladderized Course in Agriculture.
DILIMAN, Quezon City – Some 25 Organic Agriculture (OA) practitioners and technical staff from Region V came for a briefing on the e-Extension Program for Agriculture and Fisheries as part of their field learning activities last December 10, 2013.
The group showed significant interest on the components of the program – e-Farming, e-Trading, and especially on the e-Learning.
PASAY CITY – The 10th National Organic Agriculture Congress (NOAC) and 1st Philippine Natural and Organic Products Expo (PNOPEx) concluded its three-day event held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC). Celebrating the organic agriculture community and practices, the expo and the congress were initiated by National Organic Agriculture Board (NOAB) through the Department of Agriculture. About 3,000 visitors from the different parts of the Philippines came to the event, according to the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards.

Latest edition of Southern Living magazine has a piece on keeping chickens in your garden. Couple of lovely coops were illustrated and the whole idea feels quite appealing to me.
Anyone keeping chickens within city limits in North Carolina or know what the rules are? Do they vary from city to city?

Black & Decker's newest stick vacs promise lots of suction and long lasting power.
The Black & Decker Lithium Vacuum is mediocre and tedious to use. It needs to be better than that to be worth its $300 price point.

Who says pocket batteries can't be sexy? This card-size charger normally sells for $55. Plus: two bonus deals!
Stanford researchers may have discovered a path to pure lithium batteries, which would mean lighter, smaller, and more powerful charges for our devices. The science of it is pretty dense; but if we don't need to find plugs for our phones anymore while we're out and about? We're in.
Today's show features some enterprising hackers who modded an ATM to play Doom, Stanford researchers discovering a potential path to a viable, pure lithium battery, and some mind-bending 360-degree video art.
A tweet from Tesla's chief signals that an unveiling at the end of April will bring the company's first foray beyond automobiles.
Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed a working sugar-powered fuel cell with energy density greater than that of current lithium-ion batteries.
Look like you just rode out of a video game with this sleek electric cycle that's hitting the auction block in May.
With a 1,800mAh lithium polymer rechargeable battery housed tightly inside, the $59 Nomad Pod, due out in June, packs enough power for four complete charges of Apple Watch.

The Many-headed Hydra
Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic
"For most readers the tale told here will be completely new. For those already well acquainted with the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the image of that age which they have been so carefully taught and cultivated will be profoundly challenged."—David Montgomery, author of Citizen Worker
Long before the American Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a motley crew of sailors, slaves, pirates, laborers, market women, and indentured servants had ideas about freedom and equality that would forever change history. The Many Headed-Hydra recounts their stories in a sweeping history of the role of the dispossessed in the making of the modern world.
When an unprecedented expansion of trade and colonization in the early seventeenth century launched the first global economy, a vast, diverse, and landless workforce was born. These workers crossed national, ethnic, and racial boundaries, as they circulated around the Atlantic world on trade ships and slave ships, from England to Virginia, from Africa to Barbados, and from the Americas back to Europe.
Marshaling an impressive range of original research from archives in the Americas and Europe, the authors show how ordinary working people led dozens of rebellions on both sides of the North Atlantic. The rulers of the day called the multiethnic rebels a "hydra" and brutally suppressed their risings, yet some of their ideas fueled the age of revolution. Others, hidden from history and recovered here, have much to teach us about our common humanity.
"A landmark in the development of an Atlantic perspective on early American history. Ranging from Europe to Africa to the Caribbean and North America, it makes us think in new ways about the role of working people in the making of the modern world."—Eric Foner, author of The Story of American Freedom
"What would the world look like had the levelers, the diggers, the ranters, the slaves, the castaways, the Maroons, the Gypsies, the Indians, the Amazons, the Anabaptists, the pirates . . . won? Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker show us what could have been by exhuming the revolutionary dreams and rebellious actions of the first modern proletariat, whose stories~until now~were lost at sea. They have recovered a sunken treasure chest of history and historical possibility and spun these lost gems into a swashbuckling narrative full of labor, love, imagination, and startling beauty."—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Yo' Mama's Disfunktional!
"The Many-Headed Hydra is about connections others have denied, ignored, or underemployed. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Europe, Africa, and the Americas came together to create a new economy and a new class of working people. Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker tell their story with deep sympathy and profound insight. . . . A work of restoration and celebration of a world too long hidden from view."—Ira Berlin, author of Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America
"More than just a vivid illustration of the gains involved in thinking beyond the boundaries between nation-states. Here, in incendiary form, are essential elements for a people's history of our dynamic, transcultural present."—Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic
"This is a marvelous book. Linebaugh and Rediker have done an extraordinary job of research into buried episodes and forgotten writings to recapture, with eloquence and literary flair, the lost history of resistance to capitalist conquest on both sides of the Atlantic."—Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States
Baker & Taylor
Exposes the story of how a group of ordinary working sailors, slaves, pirates, and indentured servants played a role in leading dozens of rebellions on both sides of the Atlantic during the expansion of trade and colonization in the early 17th century.

DIY 4 Layer Candy Corn Cake from Sprinkle Bakes. If you are not a baker you can easily use white cake mixes and add food coloring. I suggest buying Wilton Paste Icing Colors because they will last you forever (get them with a coupon at Michaels in a set). You can use just a teeny bit of the paste on the end of a toothpick to get vibrant colors.

No WiFi in room.
Our 2nd floor room faced west, which allowed us a view of the pond and countryside. Out our front door was a view of the pool.
I wasn't impressed with the breakfast...no fresh fruit. But the coffee was good.
I was looking for a place where my friends and my husband and I could meet and enjoy each others company for a weekend. We all had a great time. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We were the only ones in the pool and hot tub earlier in the morning.
I did need to contact the front desk a few times. Once for a large garbage bag on Saturday afternoon, since the waste baskets in our room were full. Also needed to request more toilet paper. Other than that , we enjoyed ourselvse.
The staff was incredible and very helpful. The room was very, very clean. Great service all around-I felt like I was at the Hilton.
It was quiet.
The long trem take over the breakfast area not allowing visitors to use it. They park right outside the only way in smoking. The evening guy questioned why we were there and then made me feel very uncomfortable about being there. The door stuck so if there was a fire, we would have been in trouble. It stuck because it looked like it had been broken into before. The heat did not work in our room very well. Not a place for single females to be traveling.
Great salmon salad in attached restaurant.
A bit of traffic sound from freeway.
As I checked in I asked if there was a refrigerator in the room. There was not but they offered to bring one up which they did. It made my stay as I needed chilled beverages for a morning race and they made it happen.
Not really.
nice place and good breakfast in morning easy check in and out
no garbage bags in garbage cans i guess not my problem i don't have to empty them
I was able to get a room with a fridge and microwave...not all rooms had them yet.
This La Quinta was like a slightly better Motel 6. Toilet didn't flush well and ran, shower had a leak so there were stains down the front side of the shower.
Its location and price.
This motel was a real hole. It had little to no redeeming qualities... dirty, beat... gave me the creeps!
The staff was friendly
The hotel was outdated, the beds were uncomfortable and very low. The bathroom had huge holes in the walls that were patched but done very crappy!!!! This hotel is so crappy and is badly in need of some repairs and updating!! I will never stay at this hotel again!!!
The shower was so hot! And the room was clean! It was an amazing experience for my boyfriend and I. This was our first vacation! The floor plan of the room was open, and we didn't hear any other guests through the walls. The hot breakfast was great.
The coffee was terrible.
Excellent and friendly front desk check in experience
Pool and very good breakfast
We were snowed in and we were able to keep our room one more day. Breakfast was good. Coffee was always available I'm sur3e we will be back!!!
Everything clean crisp fresh. Definitely staying there the next visit in about 1 month.
No complaints
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

My brother, Jim, told me that if you pick a name like that, your looking for trouble. He also said that 'You better be able to back that up with a home that has tons of 'Wow' factor.' Well, I think we have that covered. As you read on I am sure you will come to agree that there is no other house on Marco Island (or anywhere else we know of), that combines this unique blend of charm, luxury, attention to detail and sheer elegance into any residence, much less one that you can make your own as you create your very own 'Marco Magical' vacation memories to cherish for years to come.
Royalty applies a concept of 'Scaling' the bed/bath configuration of make it affordable for smaller groups. Basic rates (quoted in the rate section) are based on the home being rented as a 4 bed, 4 bath configuration to 8 people or less. This home can be scaled up to a 6 bedroom, 4 1/2 bathroom home with inflatable mattress in the playroom to support sleeping for 14 total.
First, lets talk about location. the words 'Yeah....we got that!!!'immediately leap to my mind. Royalty is located adjacent to Leigh Plumber park. Leigh Plumber is a wonderful, passive park (no noisy sports stuff going on), with a duck pond and walking path. We especially like bringing bread over to feed the duckies and geese that call the park their home for much of the year
Royalty is majestically situated on a quiet Col-de-sac on the North side of the island just minutes drive to the Judge Jolly bridge. The central nature of Royalties location makes trips to shopping on Collier and San Marco a snap. Tiger Tail beach, with it warm white sand, tropical breeze and majestic views is just a short drive either by car or bicycle. The 'Out' to Marco River by water is about 6-8 minutes. Having built several times on Marco previously, we knew how to attend to every detail a discerning renter looks for. These details were integrated into a smooth, free flowing design.
Let me share with you a little bit of the process we went through, as I believe the pictures speak best to the result. First, we took what in my opinion, one of the nicest waterfront lots on the island. A huge factor was that this lot offered loads of waterfront viewing opportunity. We have front and rear waterfront views from both the first and second floors. These are not just a typical 'Cross Canal' views. Royalty's back looks down the canal toward the west allowing for your enjoyment of Marco's incredible sunsets while you bask in the pool or spa. Of course we have a dock (actually 2) and 2 wave runner lifts (bring you own waver runner).
Another key learning we applied was that size really does matter when it comes to a Vacation home. People want space to spread out and enjoy themselves. Even small parties like the ability to explore different areas in a home and seek out the place they feel most comfortable.
Allow me to introduce myself and my family to you. I (Paul) am in my mid 40's and work for a Fortune 100 Company in the Information Technology field. Until August of 2002, we lived in Rockaway, New Jersey, a small town in Morris County. In August 2002, we moved the family to Marco Island.
My family and I came to Marco Island for the first time in December 1998 and immediately fell in love with its peacefulness and beauty. By the time we had left, we had made offers on several of the premier lots. By mid January 1999, we had purchased a wonderful waterfront lot and began looking at builders for our ultimate 'Dream Home'.
We built a wonderful 4 bedroom, 2 bath home which we called Serenity. Our plan for Serenity was as a 'Vacation Home' initially. Then a friend suggested we rent her to other families when we were not able to enjoy her ourselves. I, of course, being a bit of a Techie decided to Learn how to Publish on the WWW and build web pages. I was amazed at how little information people were providing about their rental homes and created my web site, www.marcomagic.com as a place to provided 'Full Disclosure'. I also spent some time learning how 'Web' marketing worked for vacation homes.
Well demand for Serenity in 2000 proved so strong that we added Seacrest so that we could offer people a 'Short Walk to the Beach' home that had many of the features people were looking for. Serenity was an incredible home, which we sold in 2007 when we completed building even a more fantastic home called Royalty.
Royalty was really build for our family to live in, but given the beginning of the economic decline, we decided to maintain a less extravagant lifestyle. The resulting home, however, was everything we could envision someone wanting. It was a painstaking process that required daily care and monitoring. Royalty took almost two years to complete. Personally, I feel the result was well worth it.
Paul Demos purchased this house in 2006
Royalty has everything...space, warmth, splendor...and Quality. We have a wide water view, a great location when going anywhere on or off Marco....and it was built as my DREAM HOME....so I spared no expense.
Table and chairs in the pool (yes in the pool)...and park right outside...amazing water views...and a very quiet location from which to explore Marco Island
Having just returned to the UK we feel we must comment on our recent stay at Royalty. We are frequent visitors to Marco and have stayed at many different homes over the last eight years. We discovered Paul & Linda's homes some years ago and have rented all of them at various times since.
Having spent a fantastic five weeks at the Seacrest home we were preparing for our return to the UK on the 04 October 2008 when Paul contacted us and asked if we would like to extend our stay and offered his Royalty home for two weeks free of charge as a thank you for our past custom.
We immediately changed our travel plans, extended our car rental and spent a fabulous extra two weeks in one of the nicest homes on the Island. This home has got everything and is just a delight.
All Paul's homes are beautiful and equipped with just about everything that you will need for the holiday of a lifetime. He is always available, with a direct line from each of his homes to attend to any problems that may occur and have them put right ASAP.
Enough to say we are looking forward to return for an extended holiday next year.
Our family of 9 (ages 18-55) spent a wonderful week in Marco Island at this beautiful, upscale home. The owner was very responsive from initial contact to making sure everything was good during our stay. The house is very clean and well maintained, light switches labeled, appliance owner manuals well organized and electronic equipment instructions in each room. We travel often and use VRBO.com to search for our lodging and this house rates near the top in amenities. The location is in a quiet section of the island but close to restaurants and grocery shopping, Publix is less that 1 mile away. The beach is approximately an 8 minute car ride or 20 minutes on bikes. There are public tennis counts approximately 5 minutes away (nominal fee). We spent most days in the pool and enjoyed the audio/music both indoors and poolside. The dock out back was a perfect place to catch fish and enjoy the waterway. The kids enjoyed the game room, foosball and many video games that were available. There are TVs in every room and plenty of space to relax on two levels. The pictures and description accurately reflect the house and all it's amenities (including beach towels, beach chairs, beach and pool toys, pack-n-play, high chairs, fishing poles, bicycles, and much more).
With many options to choose from we would highly recommend looking at Royalty when planning a trip to Marco Island.
This house is great for 2 families. We had 9 people stay for a week; family of 4 and family of 5. It was set up perfectly for that with 3 bedrooms, each with an attached bath, downstairs and then 3 bedrooms upstairs. The only downfall was that there was only one bathroom upstairs.
The amenities for our boys, ranging in ages from 6-11 were fantastic. There was plenty for them to do with the docks for fishing, the pool and spa, outdoor basketball hoop, and all the indoor games. We used them all!
For someone who has never been to Marco Island, this house is not near the beach but was an easy 10 minute drive and parking was always available. We loved being on the canal and getting around Marco was a piece of cake. Everyone is so nice and everything is so beautiful and well kept.
I would go back to Marco and rent this home again in a heartbeat!!!
We visit the Island every year and our visit this year was one of the best. Our family size was 10 guests and the home had plenty of room for each family to have their own space. Royalty at the Park was above all of our expectations and was a pleasant place to stay at. The Owner was easy to contact, and available when needed. His attention to detail and condition of the home in which we stayed was like staying at a 5 Star Resort. The Owner has taken a great deal of time to make a families stay the best it can be with the design of the home, amenities, overall comfort, and expectations of staying on the island. We have rented from others on the island before, and this experience went above and beyond our other stays. We recommend and are currently looking to our next visit to being arranged with one of the homes the Owner has.
The home is gorgeous. We loved every part of our vacation and hope to come back sometime soon!
Royalty was a dream come true for our family! We traveled with a group of 14 and everything was beyond our expectations. There was plenty of room in the house and on the pool decks for us not to feel cramped. The amenities are top notch! Of course the pool, spa, tv outside on the deck and the audio system in the house were among our favorites. We ate in all week and grilled out on the awesome Weber grill! Feeding 14 is a task and could not say enough about the double oven and double dishwasher. Ranging from 8 to 65 all of us loved everything about Royalty and hopefully in the future will return! Thanks Paul for everything! We too had to call Paul a few times with an Island power outage and he always took our call and was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Space-saving bathroom storage space
Q: We are remodeling and upgrading our half-bathroom that presently has a simple wall-hung sink to save space. For smaller bathrooms I understand that a pedestal sink would be the normal upgrade, but I am looking for some storage space as well. But, trying to fit in a vanity and sink top would be difficult. Any ideas for us to look into?
– Jill, California
A: A big reason why pedestal sinks are a popular upgrade in smaller bathrooms is because basically they are still wall-hung sinks. Wall-hung fixtures do help in smaller areas because they're easier to walk around than fixtures that take up floor space.
So, with that line of thinking, a practical solution to your issue could be a "wall-hung vanity." These types of vanities are often overlooked because a lot of homeowners are not familiar with them. Wall-hung vanities can accept standard vanity sink tops and offer a clean streamlined look with plenty of foot space under the unit. However, in most cases they can be a "higher end" unit because they may need extra structure supports and proper wall backing.
Bottom line: While it may cost you more for a wall-hung vanity, it may not be such an "off-the-wall" idea if you end up with extra storage space in a smaller bathroom.
