Killer Bulletin Board

There is a challenge on Funky Junk Interiors blog tonight.

It's all about bulletin boards.

Count me in.

I'm all about organization. My husband is not, unless I'm the one doing it, (for him, of course.)

So, here goes....

First, I've had this old window frame I purchased at a garage sale a couple years ago for $1. Yep. $1. I know how much the funky junk lady likes old wood, so I'm using this.

No windows, just the frame.

In it, I'm putting an old school chalkboard I have had laying around

homosote board ripped (literally) from one UGLY bulletin board I bought at Goodwill for $1.50. It was already covered in burlap, which is perfect.

And lastly, some metal, which my loving hubby cut from an old cookie sheet that was being used as something else.

I nailed it all to the back of the window frame.

Cool, huh? Now for some decoration.

Every bulletin board needs a flower made out of coffee filters and painted a very BRIGHT shade of pink (courtesy of the lovely Grace a couple years ago. Can't even remember which grade she was in!)

A homemade "home" sign made by a friend, and a VERY old picture of my kiddos and nephew. They were all under the age of 3, and I can't even tell you why it's my favorite, but it is very worn from use.

For the "metal" part of the board, I have some great magnets I bought at our church's Holiday Bazaar a couple years ago. Very vintage looking.

Add some berries, hang it from a picture wire and an old window sash handle-y thing. (totally don't know what they are called.)


Definitely rockin' if I do say so myself. AND EASY.
