I decided I wanted some inspiration boards for my home office but didn't want to spend much money.
I decided to make my own cork boards, see image above for my muse. Yesterday I went to the thrift store and found three similarly sized frames for a total of about $18.
I know the artwork is gorgeous, it's a shame I won't be keeping it.
I decided on painting the frames in a glossy teal color to accent my new orange rug (pictures to follow). The hardware store didn't have the right color of spray paint in gloss so I bought the satin teal and a clear gloss coat for the top.
This and some fine sand paper came to about $10.
I quickly sanded the frames to take off the top finish so the paint will stick. After they were nicely sanded I took a damp rag and cleaned off the dust and dirt. Then the coats of paint began...once I had the frames covered with color to my satisfaction I added the gloss top coat and voila...
All in a few hours of work!
Today I will pick up the cork to finalize my boards and hang them so tune back in to see the final product!
