![]() Remember those days? Then blogs started catching on and we all felt empowered to get our hands dirty and become DIY queens and life was good. We could look at gorgeous space after gorgeous space and feel good about taking a few items of inspiration to our own homes, but not getting too stressed out because hello, only the people in magazines live like that! I even remember going to the real library to check out actual books for my Interior Design classes! Just a few years ago you had to pick up a physical magazine in your hand to get decor inspiration. ![]() ![]() I have a few more projects to finish in her room and then it will be complete! Stay tuned for a simple window treatment diy and an unconventional pillow tutorial coming soon.This was originally posted in October 2018 but it still rings true so I'm re-sharing today. This diy bulletin board was just the right touch for the big empty wall. It will be a great place for her to display her special things. I added a few special things – artwork, photos, a flower garland (no longer available from Target) and a few of Audrey’s pretty necklaces – but my guess is that she’ll cover it with art and notes and little pieces of randomness that girls seem to collect. Mine ended up tight enough to not need nails to hold it in place, but you could tap little nails into the sides if you need to. It was super helpful to have a geometric print to follow so the lines stayed straight. It helps to glue down one side in the center, then the opposite side to keep things lined up and smooth.įold in corners (I cut out part of the fabric to keep things less bulky) and hold with hot glue. Pull taught and secure with a bead of hot glue. Just cut it a few inches larger than your cork board on all four sides. I debated … cut it up? Or keep it for a second set for my bed? I opted to cut it up. I adore this sheet set from Target (it’s what I have on my bed) and found a set on clearance not too long ago. Lay the cork covered backing front-side down on fabric of choice (you’ll want the front of the fabric face down, too). Or continue on to cover the cork with fabric. You can stop at this point – pop it back in the frame and use as is. Starting from one side, add a bead of hot glue and press to hold. It was easy to just bend the nails back to pop out the art (the back is pictured). I lucked out and the frame I used was just slightly smaller than the dimensions of the cork – you may want to measure the cork before purchasing the frame just to make sure it fits. The one I used was just a few dollars at the thrift store and was a painting that I wasn’t sad to cover up. You could use any frame – brand new, from your storage closet or from a thrift store. It wasn’t anything special and so I decided to reconfigure it and turn it into a bulletin board for my girl.įrame with backing / roll of cork / hot glue gun / scissors / fabric for covering (optional) I had an extra frame that didn’t get used in the gallery – a vintage painting that I covered with music pages and wrote ‘twirl’ on a few years ago ( you can see it in my old office here). Add more art? Leave them blank? I’ll do a full room tour soon so you can see the walls in context to each other, but I decided that more art would feel too busy and I just wanted one large piece to fill in the area opposite the gallery wall. When you have one side of the room filled with art, it makes knowing what to do with the other walls a little tricky. ![]() The gallery wall really stepped things up a notch and it got me motivated to add some cuteness to the other walls. Slowly but surely, Audrey’s room is coming along.
