Today I would like to show you a little project I worked on a while back. I have been wanting a bulletin board in the kitchen for some time now. I found a few at Ballard Designs
that I like but did not want to pay those prices. I had found this old shutter looking thing at the Goodwill a couple of months ago and had originally wanted to put hooks on it so that I could hang necklaces from it.
It sat around forever waiting for a new life and then one day I remembered that I had some cork placemats that I had bought at Target a long time ago for another project that never was finished. Perfect! I will make my own bulletin board. So I got to work.
I just realized that I am saying 'I' a lot. Oh well.
Before. A country blue.
This is my husband helping me make precise cuts....he is so good at that. Mine would have been wonky. True story.
The new color.
All I had to do after painting it was sand the edges a bit and glue the cork inside of the opening. I just love projects that take no time at all!
The push pins are from Anthropologie. Love those little things. Although, I am sure they could be made pretty easily.
Thanks for visiting!
