There are some ugly things in my rental that have been bothering me for way too long... so I'm finally taking the time to fix them! I'm crossing more lines off my "Undoing the Landlord Special" list in episode 2 of this series. In this video, I'm DIYing a better air return vent cover, concealing the poorly-placed wifi router with some unique cable management, and replacing the builder grade blinds with custom cafe curtains. A few small changes on a weekend day can make a big difference!
