Bigger Than the Three of Us

Fabric Covered Bulletin Board

Let me give you the back story before I show you what I did. A few months’ ago, I saw this at Staples:

I can’t remember the exact price, but it was something like $24.99 marked down from $160. I called Luke and ran it by him. I told him that I thought it would look great in Greyson’s room with some large b/w photos on it. He couldn’t really envision it, but said that he trusted me. Well, I bought it. Then, it sat in our garage for like two months. Well, over the weekend it was one of those projects that I just wanted to get knocked out. We brought it up to Greyson’s room and the size was great, but the pictures that I wanted to put on it didn’t work. I was planning on printing cheaply at Staples or Kinkos (poster prints) and I had my heart set on three side by side pictures. Well, the cheap prints just didn’t fit right. So, I got to thinking about where else I could use the bulletin board. We have lots of open space, but I decided that the most embarrassing open space that we have was in the living room. So, in the living room it went.

While shopping at the Goodwill last week, I picked up another Target Threshold window curtain (we have the same one lining our outdoor couch). So, all we did was pull the curtain out and staple it to the bulletin board.

I just realized that we’ve changed things up a bit in the living room since I last shared pictures. I need to get on it and share some more.

Oh, and this project was free. We had everything on hand. =)
