Linda: I have rented my share of older homes. With no damage, you can simply remove the doors. I have put a spot of tacky glue on some pretty buttons to cover the holes, that will pop off easy when you move. Then, you can either paint the back wall a nice color like cream or white, and put some pretty shelf paper in that perhaps folds over the shelves to make it all look like it is suppose to be that way.

Other than that, ask the landlord for permission to paint them. Take off the hinges so it looks nice and most of the time they will approve of anything that doesn't have to be done by them or paid for by them. Good luck!
