And to think, I wasted my under-stairs area as a food pantry. (and occasional tornado shelter)

Ok, not done... but pretty close. I still need to do some trimwork at the bottom (ran out of trim), and I need to do some touchup paint (obviously at the top)... and finally, I want to fill the nail divots with some wood filler, but otherwise... this is it working (with my daughter going into it and closing the door)...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
The stone on the wall is actually a rather inexpensive vinyl product that I got off Amazon. I'd originally looked at some similar products... essentially wallpaper, but the total cost to do the entire room (even that size) was something like $800 bucks... which is ridiculous. For that entire room (with a spare roll), I was able to do the entire room for $63 bucks. Granted, you do get what you pay for... the rolls do not line up exactly, so there's some cutting (vertically) that needs to be done, not just from end to end. But still, for the price... I'd much rather pay $63 than $800.

More information please. My garage walls (older home) need some "make up".

Hi Cliff... this is the exact product I used (on Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Orai...rative/dp/B0BW8NCGYF
I ordered several of these, can't remember how many rolls, but it totaled up to ~$63. You can see each roll is about $7.99.
Use the "similar product" recommendations for different styles if you want something a little different.

Thanks Todd. My creative blood was flowing much before your post. Now I have creative high blood pressure. I was set on a stone theme for my garage when I saw a display backdrop for BBQ pits. I am going to stay with that although now the imagination runs wild.

Of all the things one can do to a house, before peel and stick came along...I hat(ed) putting up wallpaper more than anything else. That friggin paste and getting the pattern all aligned without wrinkles and of course, it always seemed to be (to me) ugly floral patterns way back when. Paper got thin in later years and would tear at the slightest tug. Then of course, there was the border that just HAD to go with it up at the top....
