Anyway. In the "office" I have a bulletin board that we slap schedules, coupons, kids art, birthday lists, addresses of friends the kids are having sleepovers or whatever on. It pretty much is a mess. But it is not a mess I am willing to take down to stage the house.
I do have to admit that it was looking kind of ratty. I got it from Freecycle in Nebraska. It's seen a few families, a few moves, and several different coats of paint. Some of the cork was beginning to bubble in a couple of the corners.
A few months ago, during my morning blog reading, I came across a crafty site that had a bulletin board covered in fabric. Since that time I have been watching for a black and white fabric that I could use to do the same thing. I have my pencil drawings and all the office equipment (which tends to be black, silver, grey or white) in this room so I wanted to keep it low key and not too bright.
So, we started with this:

I used elmers spray glue to attach the fabric and ribbon.
The picture didn't come out that great. The pattern is not real clear like it is on the wall. But, I really like the end result.

Looks good!
ReplyDeleteBTW: Nice calendar! Do you know where I can get one?
Sorry Tricia - its a custom job. Limited printing and all that. I can put you in touch with the artist....
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous! What a great idea! And I like how you used your creative juices to solve the problem of too little fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I need something like that.
ReplyDeleteNice! I miss seeing you!
