Covered Cork Board and Framed Glass Dry Erase Board

One of the things Jon has been dying to have in the office is a dry erase and cork board. Jon has so many brilliant ideas he needs to keep track of them.  However, I thought they would look ugly hanging in the office and I didn't want to spoil the modern feel with the floating bookshelves I made!! So, after a little research. . . I came up with this!

Supplies for covered cork board:
1. Framed cork board $10
2. Fabric to cover entire cork board (make sure you have about 2-3 inches extra on each side to wrap around and staple to the back) $5 
3. staple gun with staples - staples $2
4. Thumb tacks (I used about 220 for this 2x3 cork board) $4
5. 2 hours

I purchased all my supplies for the cork board at W-mart. Initially I was going to use upholstery nail head trim but  I decided that silver tacks looked just as nice and were more cost effective. For fabric I used 2 yards a inexpensive white muslim. Since one layer was too shear I bought double the yardage and folded it in half. The time consuming part was putting in the tacks but it was worth it!!!!

Supplies for Glass Framed Whiteboard

1. Any size glass frame 

2. Posterboard or fabric

3. Double sided foam tape 

After researching alternatives to traditional white board I decided that a frame would be the perfect choice. Pros: no ghosting, can use a permanent marker (comes off with alcohol), very sophisticated.

Frame cost me $10 at Michael's after 50% off coupon (Michael's accepts competitor's coupons)! 

The double sided foam tape may be optional depending on the frame you get but I added a small 1/2'' by 1'' piece to the bottom two corners of the frame just so it wouldn't rock while in use.

I HEART how it turned out, don't you wanna try?
