When I moved in last December, I set up fancy little inspiration boards in my office. And then when I embarked on Project Life and started - gasp - making stuff again, I began pinning embellishments and labels on to the boards so they were accessible. It worked, but I was ready for a change. I need this space above my desk to be effective storage more than I needed it to be inspirational.
So down came the bulletin boards & art prints (they are getting re-purposed on other office walls) and up went the clipboards. (I have seen clipboards used as display pieces all over the web, but the first time that it sticks out in my memory is on Rachel's pretty blog.) I saved a few of my favorite "inspiration pieces" and taped them to the boards and used the clips to hold all the stuff I use on a weekly basis in my album.
I am loving this layout. It's clean, uncomplicated and effective. Three favorites.
p.s. my office wall color is Valspar Champagne Gelee. The desk is a kitchen island from Ikea and this is my heavy duty paper cutter. The tutorial for that white and black board art can be found here.
