Why not reverse it into the garage with the garage down during the winter for photographs?

For smaller items, old roll up movie projector screens work great. Off white background with no reflective glare.

Glad you tried it out Gail!
Btw~ I used a spray bottle of warm water to spritz down my canvas to let the wrinkles fall out.
I LUV the idea of the carpet roll to “put it away!” Guess what I’m looking for now– ; D

Great idea and great bench. I will have to try that idea. At this time, not for a backdrop for pretties……………but once I added some drop cloths wrapped around the sides of the garage, I could spray paint a little neater. Except, I do have a variety of different colored art work on my drive way. LOL. No one else was impressed with it though. Nor the ones in the grass.

What a clever idea! Might I suggest the SteamMachine to steam out the wrinkles in the drop cloth? Wink, wink.

Love the white bench.

I’m not at that sot quite yet and have had to pretty much close up everything for the winter. My garage is my work space and we got 6-8 inches of snow with below zero temps coming in the next few days.
When I was at the RE-Store I saw some full door shutters that caught my eye. A couple of sets on wheels and it could roll away and fold up for staging.

Gail! This is a great idea.
I would think even in your winter shop…this may work on a smaller scale. I have a hard time finding a place to photograph my ‘smalls’ for my shop. With my everyday ‘living’ going on in the back ground and my house decor…trying to find just the right place to photograph a vintage dish is difficult, plus you want the lighting to be good. I don’t have a light box…should probably make one (don’t you have a tutorial for one of those on your blog some place?
Anyway– the drop cloth on a smaller scale may do the trick for me. I’m going to give it a try!
