clipboard decor

because i've been bundled up in the house the last few days with nothing to do when the little one is sleeping, i have been browsing the internet and blogworld for all things interior design. although i don't have tons of decorating left to do, there are a few spaces that are not quite complete. for example, i would love to hang some of baird's newborn pictures somewhere in the house. at first i though i would display them in the hallway...


and then i thought maybe on the two walls flanking the doorway in the dining room. i've been wanting some art work in the dining room for months now...


as i was browsing the world wide web, i came across the brilliant idea of using clipboards to hang photos. my sister-in-law had mentioned that she had seen the idea somewhere so i figured i would look for some inspiration photos (side note: she used wooden pant hangers in her house instead and it looks adorable). here is what i came up with...











genius huh? so i'm not sure where i am going to hang them yet, i may put them up in a few different places in the house, but i know i am going to do it. while a lot of these photos are of modern or semi-modern houses, i believe they can be extremely farmhouse as well. ill keep you posted on what i come up with.  

so what do you guys think? have you ever decorated with clipboards??

and for some amazing before and after photos of a house that i found out in bloggyland, check this out. you will not be disappointed.

happy thursday :) 

love,

What a great idea! Then once you get tired of something you can just switch the pictures out!

This is a great idea! I have never seen this before. I really like the clipboards that have been painted black or white. Can't wait to see what you come up with :)
