My homemade roll up design wall
2 Attachment(s)
I had the shelf already. It was in our dining room of our old house, but it didn't fit in the new so I took it for my sewing room. It was wood colored so I painted it (behr embellished blue is the color). I Love the way it looks now. Anyway, I got a cheap roll up shade and some gridded flannel. I glued the flannel to the shade using Aleene's Fabric Fusion. Hint: let it dry well before rolling up the shade. :D Then we mounted the hardware to the inside of the shelf brackets and installed the shade. It rolls down easily. A little touchy going up but I'm getting the hang of it. I had to increase the tension because of the extra weight of the flannel. I've never had a design wall so I have no idea how much I'll use it but I'm happy to have it. I paid about $23 for the roller shade, a dollar or two for the brackets, and about $20 for the flannel (it was a little expensive but I wanted the grid). The width of the shade is about 60".

And yes I put the flannel on crooked. I had to work in sections. lol. If I was doing it again I would have started at the bottom where it's easier to tell if it's straight.

Excellent idea. I don't have the place for a design wall. Mine is portable. I use the tablecloth flannel backed. Then I use skirt hangers and hang it on my curtain rod at my 6x5 window. Yours is cute and adorable. I still may go out and look for the flannel grid though. At least it's a guide!

Very nice!! Great repurposing of that cute shelf, too. :)

Cute idea!
Where did you find gridded flannel? Thanks Nan |
Great idea! A good repurposing(is that a word?) and decorating project!

If it works for you, that is what is most important. Love the shelf. I have some shelves without the trim. Hope to get them painted and mounted on the wall this spring.
