Our home office has a blank wall above the desk. It's where my husband and I stick Post-its with lists or scrap paper filled with reminders attached to the wall using Washi tape.
It was blah to look at. It needed a TADA! solution.
I found this corkboard at a thrift store. It was a steal at $3.00!
But because I didn't want the teenage bedroom or college dorm room look, I gave it a new face using paint.
Black paint.
I painted it entirely using about 5 coats.
It looks a lot more grown up now.
I found an excuse to go shopping for some push pins. These owl-shaped ones are from Target. They were less than $5.00.
I liked how elegant the gold looked on the black bakground.
This corkboard now hangs on our wall. It's beautiful and functional.
Blah to TADA! indeed.
Thanks for the idea. I have an old bulletin board that goes with . . . NOTHING. But it's useful and I didn't want to throw it away.
