Friday Favorite Bulletin Board Idea

Here's a cool idea from Martha Stewart. If you have a bulletin board and it's filled with clutter (but important clutter that the family needs for current activities), pull down a roller shade and cover it up! Now that's not a green light to add more junk to the bulletin board. It's a good idea to occasionally pull everything off and tack it back up to keep it tidy. As you can see in the photo, this board happens to be divided into sections with a ribbon. That's a great concept for families and kids, dividing up their different activities, parties, etc...  You can even cover the shade with a nice fabric that matches the decor of the room. Here's a tutorial for making your own shade. The shelf on top of the bulletin board also serves a purpose. It adds storage above as well as a place to house the shade. Nice, organized space!
