wood paneling on Petunia
I live in a dorm and I am very happy with the way I have it set up. But, I'll be living at home this summer. I would like to fix up my room. I have a pretty good idea of how everything will end up, save for one thing.
Petunia is my beloved, albeit large stereo. The speakers about three feet tall and eight inches wide. The main section, which has two casette players, a clock radio, a record player, and a shelf for LPs, is about four feet tall and a foot and a half wide. It is ugly wood paneling. My room is a light peach color and most of the wood in my room is a dark, reddish oak but Petunia is a light yellowy brown, almost mustard colored, with black "grain". Horrible late 70's fake wood. If it wasn't for the record player, Petunia would still be in a yard sale, so I can't just get rid of it. It's also very fragile. What can I do to beautify Petunia? Something inexpensive and preferably impermament in case I need to remove the treatment when I finally get my own apartment (in three years probably). Keep in mind that I can put anything on top of the speakers but not the record player.

Since you want a temporary solution look at wrapping paper. I used it to cover things in my room and make tables and shelving out of cardboard boxes. Hallmark cards has some wonderful solids and prints in heavy weight paper. I used one that looked like real malichite stone and another of matte black. It looked great.

Take the wood off. Paint it a dark color like black ( because it matches everything usually ).
