After reading all of your helpful comments, I really considered leaving them the way they were. I figured once they had pictures, notes, etc. on them, you wouldn't notice as much. But at the end of the day, I really wanted a little more color. I loved the look of the chevron, so when I saw the turquoise chevron at High Fashion Home, I knew it was the winner. It's a Premier Fabric Print, but I don't see the fabric in this color online.
Because I used spray adhesive to attach the first fabric to the cork board, I knew that if I tried to remove the fabric, it would pull up the cork with it. So I just put the new fabric right on top. If you look closely, you can barely make out the fabric underneath, but it is almost completely unnoticeable.
Clearly both Justin and I need some more inspiration on our boards! But don't worry, I actually completed these a while back, and they are looking more filled (and inspirational) at this point.
I am much happier with the new fabric! And ultimately am glad I made the relatively easy change.
The office is really coming along. I can't wait to show you how the rest of the room is coming together. Happy Monday!
I saw this fabric the other day and started thinking of where I could put it in my house. I love the color! The boards look really good, especially with the trim.
ReplyDeleteLove the new boards Emily! Great pop of color!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right... that pop of color is fantastic. Good call!

ReplyDeletei love the change!! i can tell the office is going to look gorgeous. can't wait to see the entire room!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I am in love! Did you put the fabric right over a framed bulletin board?
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I love the contrast with the soft color on the walls.
ReplyDeleteI love both of them!!! The nail detail takes it to the next level. Love it!!!

I LOVE those. When I saw the first photo I thought it looked great but when I scrolled down I see what a huge difference it makes to have the turquoise. Good for you for putting in the extra work to make it perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose look *AH-MAZING*...I probably would've just left them and then been saying to myself everytime I saw them "just not quite right..." (c: It's a good thing you are more of a perfectionist than I! AND OMG, I'm so excited (and envious) of your C&H painting!!! That is so awesome and I can't *wait* to see where you put it! EEEEE! That is a good way to start off a week, I tell ya that! (c:
ReplyDeleteThey look SO good! I like the pop of color they add to the room too! And I spy a little West Elm on your desk ;)
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! I love that fabric! And p.s-you should come chime in on my post today because your skin is AMAZING and I want to know what you use. Mine is a wreck. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your boards. I agree after seeing the new boards they are much more of a statement, they look great in the room!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I love the turquoise fabric choice. Your office looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE. Clearly I heart the chevron pattern (: The color is awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteturquoise makes the world go round!! I am a bit sad that the post didn't turn out quite as I hoped...I kind of thought you were going to make new ones and ship the old ones to me?? ;)
ReplyDeletethis looks awesome! it matches your blog too!
ReplyDeleteGreat job- I loved the first board too, but this pop of color is also great! And I can't even tell the other fabric is under there. I also love your office chairs! :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a great job.Can not wait to see the rest of the office.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first board you did, but this aqua color really pops. Great job! And I can't wait to see where you put your new art- it looks like a pretty good sized piece!
ReplyDeleteI only discovered this colorway recently. It's perfect in the room! Did you have 2 before?
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for the metal pegs around the board? Just thumb tacks?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
