I also have a hinged design board... where two insulation boards meet (to give me 8' square) and I have to close them up so my neice can get to her shelves behind them. This is WAY better! I'm trying to think of a blank spot in our craft room where such a set up can be put. What is the board underneath? What was used for hinges? This is one of the best ideas I've seen here on this board! Do you rent out your DH? Oh, oh, my totally supportive DH better not see that question!

I love love love your design wall. Brilliant!

what a great wall idea!!!

Oh where do you ladies get these really handy husbands from??? Don't get me wrong, mine is a great guy but not too clever with the power tools! Have to say that I am a bit envious of everyone's craft rooms-I have a craft room but I just have too much stuff. I hurt my shoulder tripping over a box of fabric this evening! Think it is time to have a big tidy up :/

Where do you girls find these awsome husbands....? It is a great idea..

Wow! This is a brilliant idea. Now you have multiple design walls. Love it!

Wow that is totally awesome. I love it!!!

One of the posts mentioned your blog and the directions to build this -- but I'm not finding it -- please help

Piano hinges would achieve this, i think??


Best design wall ever, well done to your lovely husband!

That is fantastic. Just have to decide where I can put one now.

I'm so sorry, ladies. I have just recently found out that we are not allowed to direct you to our own blog.

So, I will just have to tell you how my husband made this for me. :)
First we decided what size we wanted the finished wall to be. Then he purchased PVC pipe and fittings. He made a "frame" that size. Since it was fairly large, he designed it with cross pieces for strength and stability. Next he attached foam insulation board to both sides. (Since it was larger than one sheet of insulation board, he pieced them together and cut them to size first). He experimented with several different adhesives to attach the insulation board to the PVC pipe-he tried Loctite and Welder and Gorilla glues and found that the Gorilla glue worked best. He covered the front and back of the frame and all 4 edges. He also used Duck Tape on the seams to make it really nice and smooth-that insulation board is difficult to cut and isn't always pretty when you're done. After the wall was hung I covered it with batting and then flannel. If you would like to see more pictures of the work in progress let me know and I will try to post them. I hope this helps.

Here are a few pictures of the construction process--

I love this and would love to have one too!

Omg love it!!

Oh my goodness, what a great idea! I have 2 sliding doors covered with cotton batting in the upstairs sewing area and one larger design wall downstairs in the studio but I'm constantly running out of space too! Gonna have to show this one to my husband...It would be a great Christmas present even!

I have to say that's the best one I've seen yet!

Wow! What a great idea!

That is amazing, he did a great job

wow-that is great 4 design walls now.

Wonderful! Love it! I think my grandson would do this for me! Great idea!

Can he make me one? That sure is a great husband you got, be sure to let him know often!

Wowser. Love it. Once my sewing room is organized/arranged, I am going to do this! I have just the spot.

WOW, great idea.

What an excellent idea, I want one too.

Ooh That's awesome! I want one now! =D

He's a keeper. What a great idea!! Does he loan out??

That design wall is awesome. Love it
