Weekend project

For my daughter who loves to hold onto everything, and for her Mother who doesn't...
I picked up some 12x12 tiles and painted them white.
Next, I taped off the edges to give them a border.
Then I painted them purple (Elliana's favorite color!)
I hung them from one end of her wall to the other.
A 12 feet long cork board, and it's already full with pictures and art.

Let's Connect!

That's really cool! We might steal that idea it's so simply cool!

When you say "tile", you do not mean ceramic tile, right? It's corkboard? That is a cool idea for homeschoolers--you're totally a soulemama!

If you could do this for a living, would you? I see a TLC home improvement host trapped in a radio DJ body.

Yes, they are cork tiles, not ceramic. Sorry for the confusion. And yes also, I am totally an HCTV host trapped in a dj's body. But, last time I checked, HGTV host's didn't get to go to Africa. Other than Suzanne Whang, who maybe was there for an international episode of House Hunters!

Awsome! Now I know what to do with the corkboard tiles I have shoved into the closet because "someday" I might need them. This is such a cool idea.

Hi Ceci

Thanks for the idea. Instead of painting them, I covered them in different fabrics. They turned out so cute and my son LOVES it.
