arts and...

i really want to do this for my new office. i already have two magnetic boards i can use, which are about the same size as those in the photo. but, i'm not sure where i can find "decorative paper" that is 1.large enough and 2. cute. any ideas??

p.s. i was trying to change my blog background and messed up the html, so i think it will forever be white now.

what about on etsy?
or, you could use tiny bits of pretty tissue paper, decoupaged together onto a plain piece of paper.
OR, you could find cool, old book pages or newsprint (maybe in another language?) and draw/paste cool things onto that. like this - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20369863

let's be crafty!

Sarah you are very crafty. I also like the idea of using fabric that would be a cool choice and you can pull it taught and none would be the wiser....

Reenie said...

maybe a map like the old fashioned kind. that would be cool. Have you tried looking at different wallpaper? I am just full of ideas today.

i think you should do fabric too. you could change it for different seasons and such. or some type of wrapping paper. staple it in the corners.

ps. the mays' have a thing of the dc metro up in their guest former guest room. you should do something like that but of london.

pps. can't wait to see your casa. i heart that you have an office.

Sarah said...

I love the map idea! I second that one. a cool map of London or the metro maybe? that would be awesome.

Sarah said...
