Well, since DD has bought a house, I'm taking over her old room and making it a sewing/craft/guest room. (It'll probably be easier to move everything out of my current sewing room and into new digs than to actually clean/reorganize it!)
One thing I'm thinking about doing is covering a large wall in cork, so when I'm sewing/playing I can tack stuff right on the wall.
Some brief research on the Net shows there's all sorts of cork wall tile, but it's decorative and not for actually *tacking* stuff to. And the stuff you CAN tack other stuff to tends to be basic brown. But it appears it can be painted/stained varnished. Has anyone done this?
So I'm soliciting thoughts/opinions/experiences/ideas from any of you who'd like to advise me. I don't expect I will accomplish anything too quickly - just starting the plaster repair/sanding/de-glossing this weekend and may decide to pull out a the wall-to-wall carpeting (at least around the perimeter of the room) before proceeding. (There's still furniture in the room that I'm working around...no place else to put it.) I haven't even yet decided on a color to paint the room.
Suggestions?
Sue
