Chic Bulletin Boards

So today isn't the sexiest or most mind blowing topic. But we all need some everyday functional elegance from time to time, and I love organization. So it's all about chic bulletin boards. Proof I suppose that anything can have a stylistic side. Now, you all know cork boards are wrong. And if you have one lying around, it may be time to start considering wrapping it in a nice piece of fabric. It's an easy little DIY project that can return sensibility to your home office or inspirational image wall with very little effort. As far as magnetic boards or chalk boards are concerned, even though I know there are a ton of you out there that love chalk boards in particular, I don't reccommend it. They're often cold looking, dark, and messy. I think the selections below will give you some great options in terms of keeping your wall organization artistic and beautiful. Enjoy!

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards, Pottery Barn, Linen Pinboard. This has always been a favorite of mine and you can pick it up quick and easily at Pottery Barn. It's linen which is a lovely texture, neutral in color, soft, and elegant. I love these over the bed, but I could also see doing a whole home office wall in them. And those vintage photographs are great as well...

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards, Ballard Designs. This one is actually magnetic, but I let it pass because it doesn't look like it is. I love words, print, and classic script in atypical places.

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards. This one is fabric, and super chic. Just clean, white, and elegant. Doesn't get easier or sexier than this in terms of wall organization.

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards. I love the beading here. As well as how it's built in. So convenient. The whole little workspace ensemble is great. Love the colors. The green is perfect in how it's not too minty.

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards. This one is great too. Nice and white, let the elements pop on their own. Tiled like art on a miniature salon wall.

Interior Design, Chic Bulletin Boards. And lastly, the complete opposite. I love when people reverse conventional wisdom to show how both ends of the dialectic work equally. A bulletin board made out of clipboards. Love this idea.

Getting Rustic In The Bedroom

Going to leave that title alone.


The idea here is pretty simple. Given that most of the blog readers here are urbanites. And particularly New Yorkers. Here's an idea to mix up and balance your everyday experience and life. As while we're constantly surrounded in computer screens, cell phones, modern buildings, electronic signs, monster advertising graphics, and slick modern contemporary design. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to your apartment and have a completely non modern experience?

You can still keep it clean, but a little rustic goes a long way towards feeling comfortable. Here are some basic elements for a bedroom for instance.

Home Interior Design, A Rustic Bedroom. You're probably going to need a secondary piece of furniture to hold the theme. And it's always nice to have a chair in the bedroom. So here's a nice comfortable burlap one. Now, if your bedroom isn't big enough, this is still a great piece to have. Floating around in a studio for instance.
