I don't do much home diy these days, for practical reasons, and have been a bit remiss with hamster diy as well 
Apart from Pringles tubes. But I turned a piece of plywood board into something that looks like wood panelling the other day. I had always intended to paint it (it's part of an unfinished window seat project and got sick of looking at plywood 
It's self adhesive wallpaper that looks like tongue and groove panelling. It was quite cheap to buy one roll. Doesn't look realistic if you look close up but it's not bad from a distance! It's basically sticky back plastic! But not very plasticky. And it's the kind of adhesive you can peel off and straighten until you get it right with no wrinkles. If I had less aching joints I might be tempted to do the bath panel in it as well!
First photo is without the cushions (it doesn't fit the full window width but the cushions and curtains cover that The window frame is very old - but just tidying things up a bit before Christmas! It's supposed to look like distressed wood panelling. I'd have preferred it to be non-distressed really as there are enough distressed bits in this house already ha ha. But it's all I could find. And it's actually funny that people are using it as wallpaper to make walls look distressed when our house has naturally distressed walls in places!
