What with all of the flyers, notices and reminders that come home from school and in the mail, we needed a place to house them all - in plain sight and not in stacks. Stacks never work for me because I forget to sort through them - and anything on the counter in my kitchen is fodder for the trash can!
And so began Jim's latest project ... a bulletin board for the wifey.
First he had to build a frame from trim, mounted onto a bead board backing...
Next, he painted the trim black ...
After drying, I distressed the edges, but sadly didn't take pics of that part... Then he added a clear gloss to the frame.
The ceiling tiles were then covered with burlap ... (this sounds simple and easy peasy, but boy it wasn't! The ceiling tiles were 2 x 2 and my bulletin board was going to be much bigger - so Jim had to connect the brittle ceiling tiles together so that we could stretch the burlap across. Not fun.)
But finally, it all came together and here it is! Love, love!
