Blogging Living, Etc.: Cupboard Bulletin

We have a love/hate relationship with bulletin boards. Sure, they're meant to keep notes, pictures, etc., nice and organized. But after a little while, ours tend to get a bit unruly. (Is it just us?) So we like this idea from July's Living, Etc.: Transform the inside of a cabinet door into a bulletin board. All of our clutter can then be easily hidden from view.

In the Living, Etc. example, it looks like items are simply taped to the cupboard door. We'd be interested in making the door magnetic — possibly with magnetic paint or a super-thin sheet of metal cut to size. Adding cork would also be nice, if it doesn't impede the door from closing properly.

The funny bit on this picture is that the Perrier bottle of water is in the condiment cupboard. It is tickling me no end.

ReadyMade Magazine has a similar project in their current issue as well :)

victoria e - thanks for the tip! doesn't look like readymade has the cork-lined cabinets story available online, so we'll have to pick up a copy soon.

I keep my water in the cupboard. But, I like to drink it at room temperature, not cold.

i do this at the office to keep my tiny cubicle less cluttered. I have all my phone lists and cheat sheets taped to the inside of my cabinet door, so they are there when i need them, but away when i don't. yay!

IKEA sells a pack of cork placemats that are the perfect size for tacking up inside a cabinet door. the edges are beveled and they're super cheap, as expected...

I have the original metal kitchen cabinets in my 1949 apartment gone condo.

All I need is a handful of magnets to tack up notes, reminders and recipies on the inside. (and a few on the outside)

clickchick - my husband used to live in an apartment with metal cabinets, and i never put them to proper use like you are! i missed my chance. now, not even our fridge will take magnets. boo.

Anusha - I really liked the tin of beans next to the Perrier and Carluccio's box!
