apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love this.

So cute! My corkboard never looks that cute though. :( I love being surrounded by inspiration in my work space, but often that means not enough surface area to actually work on.

Does anyone know where to find a large corkboards like the one picture? I've tried the office stores in our area but the corkboards are either hideously ugly or way overprice. I thought about maybe doing the whole tile corkboard route but I would like one solid board. Any thoughts?

My parents both have inspiration or wish boards. My mothers above her desk/sewing area and my fathers... in the toilet... makes for interesting viewing. Lol. I love what they have on them. My father - a picture of the biggest gold nugget, a fisherman with a huge fish, us as a happy family, him as a 20 year old playing softball, an arm tattoo etc. My mother - a rainforest, an outdoor entertainment area with a fireplace, a picture of the entire family including grandbabies, her jewellery making business card etc...

Maybe I should start one...

Outside inspiration, that's what I need. Sat down on the couch last night with nothing going but the TV and did 3 things that, in the end don't really do, really they were sketches, getting ideas out. Perhaps I just need to pull out my vintage decorating books, put on some jazz or something along those lines, let them sink in and see what comes up. :-)

I probably should set up something along the lines of a cork board for just that, pictures of things that inspire me.

milo.delara,
For the board in the pic, she probably made it, b/c I've never seen corkboard with such nice frames. You could probably buy a frame and then a sheet of cork that come in rolls, and stick that in the frame. Another options is to do what I did: I got a free corkboard with metal frame off Craigslist, and painted the cork yellow. It looks so much nicer now!
