I've seen some really great skirts on the forum. The black landscaping stuff is a good idea, and Adriatic's idea of a C channel is outstanding.
Mine is pretty pedestrian compared to most. It's from a fabric store, but hides a lot, wasn't expensive, and I also used a staple gun to tack it up.
My wife liked this starry blue for the refrigerator/beer room that doesn't match anything. Had to use a piece of trim to tack it with brads. Hey, it's her refrigerator, and the whole layout has to go around it to get to the next room.
