Cork Board 101

I have been working on a number of projects for my office lately and one that seems never ending is my cork board.  Do you ever do a project and it never seems to be right??  Well I have now redone my cork board above my desk at least three times.... in the last week. Ughh!  I tried spraying the frame from black to white and leaving the cork as is

I tried using the awesome new Frog Tape in chevron and spraying the cork board gray


and last but not least I ended up with this!





I saw something similar on Pinterest and there was no corresponding tutorial so I bought the supplies and away I went.  I love the result!! It turned out to be the perfect graphic for the space.  I will share the full tutorial next week, but wanted to see what you all thought.  Do you like where I ended up? What have you done for your cork boards? Happy Thursday!

Printables: A number of people have mentioned to me the cute P on my desk and the Love pennant banner and if you can believe it they were both free printables!!!! Amazing right?? They both came from the amazing Shanty 2 Chic.

Love Pennant Banner

Update: Here is a link to the tutorial.
