apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

great cabinet

Mine is pretty similar to the above photos -- thin gauge wire wrapped around thumbtacks, spanning the corner right above my desk, with ephemera attached with clothespins and such:

Does anyone know where that clock is from?

I also do a clothesline style, but with thin organza ribbon and not pulled as taut so it drapes more (three nails).

Clock is from Ikea...looks nice in my kitchen too.
Love the cabinet! I need one of those!

This picture makes me happy.

Colored embroidery floss plus tiny clothespins (from a craft store) is how I love to display holiday cards. It looks a bit less frumpy that way. I love the idea of it as an all-year-around display, though.

And that cabinet is what dreams are made of.

That cabinet is most definitely what dreams are made of...especially to a student who needs a place to store all of her drafts. ^_^ And paint brushes, and art pieces! Flat files are so expensive. *sigh*

I love this idea, I normally just taped stuff to my wall and that more often than not ended up with ripped photos when I had to take it down or move from dorm to home and back again. I have a roll of thin wire just waiting for use and I could go pick up a back of itty bitty clips or just use paperclips to put up pictures with. A lot easier and much more organized!
