DIY Inspiration or Bulletin board....

I love a good DIY project! Don't you? Especially with photos.  At this time, I'm working on my own DIY as you may recall me posting about it here. I'm about 80% done with it.....and yes, I will be posting pics of the before & after on my blog for all of you to see.  

Speaking of DIY, here's a really cool one I think you'll enjoy!  Laura, from The Order Obsessed blog did a DIY over-sized bulletin board.  It looks so chic & is very useful for tacking up all kind of things, like reminders, inspiration pics, love notes from your significant other & more! To learn how Laura made hers, go here. Thank you Laura for sharing yours with us! I'm sure we can all be INSPIRED by other people's inspiration boards!

P.S. - Feel free to leave the link to your board in the comments, I would definitely love to take a look at them!

How about you? Do you currently have a bulletin board or inspiration board??  Did you make it yourself?

  3. Love this.

    I had an inspiration board but never finished it. It had a theme for the year, pictures/goals/blahblahblaaahhh. However, it is now sitting in half-assembled shambles. And is from 2009. Good one, Nat.

  6. If I had my own place I would have an inspiration board up all the time. I still live with my parents so the space I have is limited. I love looking at other people's tho!! =)

  8. Love this! Would love to make my own, but I found a huge board at a garage sale for super cheap and couldn't pass it up. I've had a *pile* of inspiration for years, so I thought it was time to organize it. http://ahomeinthemaking.blogspot.com/2010/01/inspired-files.html

  14. I guess my inspiration board is my blog....too many things inspire me to fit it on one board! It would be total chaos......

  16. I keep a binder of ideas that I find in magazines. It's so fun to flip through it, knowing someday I'll implement them (when I own rather than rent).

  20. I've been planning to do an inspiration board, this one is really nice.

  21. thanks for the shout out jen!

    champagne taste: you should figure a way to get the headboard and inspiration board out of one 4' x 8' sheet to make things easy and less expensive. this board was the left over piece from the platform bed i made, for a total cost of $20!

    :O)

  26. I love inspiration boards! Mine takes up half of my office wall, from floor to ceiling. Currently, I use it to display fabric swatches from my stash. This helps me see what goes together for future projects. It is pieced together from some soft pressed wood product (not sure what it is called), which you can buy pretty cheaply at the lumber yard or hardware store.
