Memo: Board

Memo: To Household

From: The Boss Lady
Re: This mess needs to be organized
Date: Metamorphosis Monday

So here's the solution: Dollar Store cork boards -

With scrap paper inserted for protection - they are so cheap that a piece of paper can be eased in -

Primed (just because I have the photo here it is to see, for no really good reason!) -

(We also did the big board too, with lots of scrap paper covering both sections) -

And then spray painted black by HR -

Two nails were poked through the top corners of the small memo boards and they are nailed directly to the drywall - nothing is more annoying than a bulletin board that wiggles all the time -

Then upholstery tacks were poked through each corner to cover the nails -

The bonus?  I used them in the lower corners too for a cohesive look, and they are just long enough to be able to tap the points into the wall for a completely secure memo board (which earned the look from Mr. G, aka drywall patcher) -

Yes, I'll need to touch up the black on the frames - I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a hammer!

But, all together now, here it is -

A bit of organizing and it is beginning to look better -

Now all four of us have our own space!

Next, I'll be adding something above, and a shelf with hanging hooks below for all the bags that are currently on the floor. Am also on the lookout for an old hanging mail organizer at my favorite thrift shops.

Happy Monday! I am linking up with Between Naps on the Front Porch:
