DIY

The design bug strikes again! Bear with me as I share another small home-improvement project...

This burlap bulletin board from Ballard Designs caught my eye, but rather than pay $79 dollars for it, I decided to make an even bigger one for less money. Yay! I covered a very basic bulletin board with linen (technically, a cheaper linen look-alike) using a staple gun and pinned brass nailheads along the perimeter. Could that have been any easier? I'm looking pinning up family photos, inspirational quotes, our family motto, etc.

A lovely addition to my mini-office area, if I do say so myself. I've got at least one more project in the works... :)
