Burlap Bulletin Board

I want to start by reminding you to enter my blogiversary giveaway!!  I pick the winner on Friday and only have 2 entries so far - your chances are good to win!  Now... on to my regularly scheduled programming.

In addition to the shelving in my office, I was in much need of some memo board space.  I am a piler - anything that I need to keep near me (passwords, phone numbers, etc) that I use on a regular basis always ends up in a pile - UNLESS I have a handy dandy bulletin board!  So, this past weekend I spent some time making some cute memo space.

The first thing I did was to update a free bulletin board that I got when our renters moved out and left it in the garage - score!!  I love free stuff!  This is what I started with:

I taped around all of the edges so I could paint it white.  After the painting was done, it looked like this:

Then I just measured and cut some burlap - you know I needed some burlap in my office!  I spray mounted that to the cork and then applied basic silver thumb tacks all around the edges so they had that nail head look.

Here's the final product!  I had a few leftover thumbtacks so I hot glued some buttons on to make some cute decorative pushpins.  Now I just have to get some stuff up there - don't worry - It will be covered in memos soon enough!!

Another project off the list!
