Sometimes you’ve got to wonder what goes through the mind of a builder when they decide to place a thermostat right in the middle of a wall, creating a permanent “eye-sore” that’s impossible to avoid.

Alas, there is a solution to those decor blots, and the results are clever and flexible to your personal style and taste. Bookmark today’s DIY project for this weekend and enjoy your new found freedom from ugh!
