apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Our own personal business card collection consists of a pile unceremoniously dumped in a drawer somewhere. We hardly ever get to it, and when we do, we rarely find what we are looking for. A Rolodex alphabetizes the collection, but even that system keeps most of your cards out of sight. We loved the simple solution we found at Fanny's Fabrics: dedicating an entire bulletin board to your business card resources (in this case, it's prettied up with an ornate frame). Sure you might have an important business card or two pinned to a board already, but imagine having all your contacts and resources in one place and visible everyday! Not only would you be able to find the resources you were searching for quickly, you might even come up with new solutions simply because you have it all in front of you! We even suggest taking the organization a step further by arranging your cards within the frame into categories. And with all the creative and interesting business cards people hand out these days, a business card board might even make interesting wall art!
