We like nice things. DIY Corkboard I've been working on a project. Since Pam and i began blogging just over a year ago, i find myself spending more time than i'd care to admit in my den. It was, in the literal sense, a den..you know the type that animals crawl into to hibernate for the winter? A real cave...dark chocolate walls, a desk that was one of the first furniture purchases i ever made, an IKEA bookcase that had fallen apart before we even moved into our home 11 years ago. Why, you ask, did you move a broken bookcase to a new home? Good question!!  It was also the room that became home for anything that didn't have another resting place. Anyways, i could go on, but i'll save that for my home reno post... Suffice it to say that is was hard to feel the creative juices flow in my workspace. So, my project has to been to create a room where i can work and feel inspired.. Where i'm surrounded by colour, by "happy" trinkets and by things i love. An obvious place to hang your thoughts and ideas on is a cork board. I also knew i wanted it to fit with the vibe of my room. So, when i spied a damaged mirror frame in Homesense, i got pretty excited!! This is such an easy DIY project..all you need is a frame, a can of spray paint and a roll of cork!
