I have had a sewage cleanout in the corner of my train room since the beginning of the train room.  Today I decided to cover it with a piece of foam board.

Next, I would like to paint or otherwise scenic it to look like more than a covered over hold in the corner.  But, alas, I'm not very imaginative when it comes to this type of thing.

What brilliant and creative ideas do you have for what to do with it?

I'd paint the cover with matching wall pant and then install a power station big enough to block most of the cover.

The problem with backdrops is that, unless you're doing the whole wall, it never looks great where they end. 

A few inexpensive rolls of sky and cloud paper from Hobby Lobby would also work. The top and bottom can be mounted to small wood strips and then hung from the ceiling or mounted to the top of the walls, rather than adhering it to the wall surface.

Ah, if only I had that wall paint... was that color when we moved here (room was a rarely used basement office for prior owner) and I just installed the trains 6 years later.  I am planning to make some fluffy clouds.  So the idea of sky/cloud paper might work well.  I didn't realize Hobby Lobby had that, so I'll have to take a look.
