How to disguise an ugly greenhouse on the cheap?

Want to screen it from the house as its too "in ya face".

Any ideas? Must be cheap and easy as I ain't no carpenter. Must be pretty or hold prettiness up between me and the g/h........

How about painting camoflage patterns on it like the military do with tanks and the like - big blotchy patterns of that g/h shading paint, and make a couple of shades of grey/green with a bit of emulsion or something.

there are some screening ideas on this page

Glass paints and stencils? You could photocopy the patterns, stick them on the other side of the glass and trace the outlines (havent ever tried this, but youve given me some ideas.. if I ever get a greenhouse)

I like these, though you may have to adapt the colours so they dont block the light too much..

Thanks for all the interesting suggestions!

Will probably line side of g/h facing me and the house (the north side) with green meshy stuff. leave south side and roof clear of meshy stuff...... I have fittings from the bubble wrap lining during winter. Have found  bit of oldish but still intact latticey fence at the back of the garage, will prop it against g/h and grow something up it.......
