Awesome or Awful? Folding Screens

I will start this post with a little confession... remember when I was all gung ho about fitness a few months ago?  Well I lost 11 pounds and it felt great.  Then I gained 7 of them back very recently due to work stress and general summertime apathy and I feel terrible about it.  Luckily, my family had a treadmill gathering dust in the garage and offered it to me for free.  And since I'll be more likely to walk for an hour when the HBO Go iPod app is involved, I am now faced with the task of hiding a treadmill in my living room because it doesn't fit through any of the doors in my house.

Luckily, the machine folds up vertically so I think it could be obscured by a screen in the corner.  I found some great inspiration online, and am currently loving the idea of an upholstered screen with nailhead trim.  I could even put artwork on it.  Right?  Or weird?

I think I could make one myself with some folding closet doors and a staple gun, though I'm known for being a bit overconfident when it comes to these things.  What say you, internet?  How do you hide your treadmill?  (Assuming you all don't have basements or dedicated home gyms)
