I have always loved a good cork board. Every corkboard I have owned has been UGLY. My husband always asks me whether I prefer utility or design(he really isn't asking, he is trying to lead me to the answer he wants to hear). So let me be clear, DESIGN. Utility is also very important, but if it is ugly I toss it. I decided to start looking for a chic little board. I found an amazing one at ballard. The price was not so amazing $109-209.
The one in the picture was a little too shabby chic for my daughters room, so I went on the hunt for a pewter frame. Low and behold, I found one at TJ Maxx for $2! I also found another clearance frame so I would have a pair. You always need things in multiples. I then went to lowes and found some cheap cork and combined the too! This project took all of 20 minutes.
What an impact it made in my little ones room. Now she has a place for her art that does not involve tape and her wall!
