I just roll up the project and fold it until the mattress is put back upright.
    Clever!

    I have high density foam insulation panels covered in white felt and attached to the wall. Mine is 8 feet square, but you could make it any size. The insulation panels are inexpensive, very lightweight so easy to attach to the wall without much damage, and easy to cut to size. I just used a hot glue gun to attach the white felt. Another option would be to cover with a flat flannel sheet.

    Someday I would love to frame the design wall with wood trim to make it a more finished look, but for now it's functional.

    I put four foam boards together in a four-patch, then used spray adhesive to stick batting to it. My hubby nailed it to the wall and put a nice quarter-round frame around it. It works great!

    for a portable one, someone on the board uses a flannel backed tablecloth and 3 pants/skirt hangers, the kind that clip. She just hooks them over the door frame, the hangers, and clips the tablecloth to them. When she is done, folds it up until it is needed again. Very clever I thought.

    I used a big cutout of Trace Akins that folded in the middle. cover it with a flannel backed picnic tablecloth with staples. It stands up really well. When not in use it goes behind the door. No I didn't cover Trace up. I used the other side.HeHeHe You can use any cardboard that folds in the middle.

    This is the method inhale used for years. If it gets old I go to the dollar store and get a new one. Works great.
