A way to add color and insulation to an old plaster wall without major construction.

01.25.16
I used insulation foam boards, cut into 15"x15" squares. Than I covered each with batting and fabric using duct tape. To hang on the wall I used double-sided velcro so they can be taken down to clean, or rearranged. It really made this drafty room so much warmer.

    Thanks for the idea. I was about to throw away six sheets of that insulation because it was taking up space in my garage.

    I really like your use of foam boards here. I'm not talented enough to come up with beautiful and functional things like this on my own. Later on I will be sure to share this with my husband and see whether or not he thinks we should try this out in our

    This is am interesting idea, and it looks really cool, but I wonder how much it would do as far as insulation is concerned. It seems like the trick to getting the warmest or coolest home, depending on the season, is to go ahead and get the best
