Cork Board Transformation

It's Metamorphosis Monday and I have a small transformation to share with you!  Please be sure and stop by the previous link for more wonderful changes all over.


Last week I shared my latest thrift store finds with you here.  Amongst all the goodies was this ordinary plain bulletin board that I purchased for my craft and sewing room.

First I gave it two coats or ordinary white craft paint.

Then I gave it one coat of Mocha glaze from Valspar to bring out the character of the wood.



Then I chose some fabric from my scrap box.   Because my cork board was so well mounted into the frame I decided not to remove it to staple the fabric on the cork board.  Instead, I used a slim edge scraper to wedge the fabric under the frame securely.  It was tight enough to do this with just enough space to get the fabric under it securely with careful maneuvering.

Then I adjusted the wires on the back and hung it on the wall beside my desk.

And here is my finished cork board all ready for notes, photos, etc.

This was such a simple and adorable change that only cost me $1.50 for the board from the thrift store.

I just love it! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you are having a wonderful start to a great week!
