Default fake wall

Trying a new set up with a fake wall.
The floors are what are in my studio space, but I know lots of people also use laminate flooring attached to the baseboard if they don't have wood floors available.
DH attached pieces of wood to the back of the baseboard so it stands up on it's own. I do need to have him attach a piece of quarter round to help with the gap, but I'm liking the set up and possibilities!

That is so cool! I love the set up. I would have never known if you had never shown. I'm not a photographer so that goes way beyond my capabilities! So very cool to see!

totally cool! reminds me of my art director days when we had all kinds of sets constructed for product shoots--photo shoots were lots of fun! So fun to see this in your studio! and she is getting cuter by the minute!

I love that I found this posted! I was thinking of something simular, and trying to explain it to my DH, only that I would need to make the floor too, as I have carpet. I am just wondering what shade that pink is that you used? Is it the Coral or the Tulip? I am going to need a shade of pink, and blue for sure! Thanks for the post, its great to have a visual!!

For the floor, I know lots of people that use this:

That pink is Coral (but obviously not so much what I think of as coral, but a nice soft pink). Sky Blue is my favorite soft blue paper.

UGH! That store doesn't ship to Canada, and I can't seem to find one that sells the same thing that does! I have never seen anything like that here, so if anyone can let me know what to do? I looked on ebay, and when I do find one they are "slightly" damaged, or dont ship to my parts either! I really wanted it, and now that I can't get it, I want it more Any suggestions on how to get my hands on one?? Thanks!
Nichole
