So, I have a pretty huge problem. I'm moving back into my parents house (oh, no, it gets worse) and my old bedroom is no longer available to me, so my mom decided I can have a portion of the den, which is L shaped (I get the little part of the L). Now, I need to figure out a way to have SOME sort of privacy (since my dad absolutely refuses to let me put up a new wall.. *sigh*
I've looked into room dividers, but we're talking 134in space to cover. The only other thing I could think of is hang some drapes.. Problem is my dad refuses to let me put so much as a tack in the walls. I thought of tension rods, but none of them are long enough. I'm so desperate. I can't live in the middle of the den and have a bedroom everyone can see into. If anyone can offer any advice, I would love you forever.

Kind of depends on your budget, but for a couple hundred bucks you could get two of these:
