Woven Memo Board

November 7, 2011 by Chris

I’m getting there. The finishing touches of my son’s room are being put into place, and I should be finished this week. One of those finishing touches is a burlap memo board I spotted on Jones Design Company. I knew this room was the perfect spot for it, so I went to work.

Burlap Memo board

Emily really gives a fantastic tutorial on it, so I’ll spare you the same ol’ show. I cut the strips in three inch increments like she suggested.

I then laid the corkboard out and took no more pictures after that. How’s that for a tutorial?

Tutorial issues aside, I think it turned out pretty great. The second I hung it up, I realized I want a bigger one. But until then…

Talk about a cool space for a tween boy, eh? The locker wall pockets house his comic book collection from his uncle and his signed baseball collection had to be on display. The postcards are a collection that he got from a Flat Stanley project when he was in 1st grade.

I’ll certainly give more details when I offer up the full reveal (still don’t know exactly how to do those), but these pictures certainly give you a nice sneak peek!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the giveaway winner and a big ol’ “Mark Your Calendars” announcement!

    Love the texture of the memo board. The locker files are a great idea for a boys room!

    Oprah – His room is looking great! Seriously, fantastic! I feel like I haven’t talked to you in for-eva. Hope all is well. I am good here, now. It’s been a month, that’s for sure. We got our family pictures back – I look pretty amazing, I have a trophy husband and all three kids are smiling. Isn’t that all that really matters? 🙂 LOL.

    I love it! The texture is fantastic, and it’s totally unique! I also love the locker bins. Very cute (er… manly (really, though, it is)) room!

    I love this room! Where are the cute locker pockets from?

    Maybe a thick frame will make it look bigger and you won’t have to make another one? I think it looks great though!

    That board is really cool! And the sneak peeks at the room are killing me with suspense. But I worry I’ll get the bug to redo my tween Jackson’s room….which is a negative since I just redid it 1.5 years ago!!!

    That is so perfect for a boys room! I have a little sewing and fabric craft linky party I’m starting tomorrow and I was wondering if you could be so kind to stop by and post it? Thanks so much!

    I am loving his room so far!! I will definitely be using your room as an inspiration to do my son’s room.

    Can you tell me where you bought the adorable orange locker magazine organizers?

    What a great idea for the memo board. It’s so easy, yet it’s so appropriate for this space! I too am curious as to where I can find these awesome locker style wall pockets. I’ve done some ‘Googling’ and can’t seem to locate them!

    Thanks in advance for your response!
