kinda love this.....


I have this big fancy laundry room that has big boring blank walls.....and this freakin awesome badass wall organization system is pretty much exactly what it needs. Well, really it needs some anthropologie cool/eclectic drawer pulls and cabinet knobs too, but this alone would be such a huge change.

The problem is, once you price out all the pieces and parts needed to make this a reality - this little multi-piece unit ends up being about $500 dollars!.....for calendars and cork boards?

I dunno, if i am going to splurge any time soon I was thinking more like - fancy stroller or baby bedding that happens to have a higher thread count than my own???

I don't know, what do you think? Anyone know of a Target version or something else that is cheaper and just as cute? it is the white framing that i really love - it matches my cabinets.

Where is that from?
The Container Store has good stuff!
You def could make this...I am really bad at DIY projects and they always come out looking like a child did it, but I bet you are good with that stuff!

is this from ballard design?!
'cause it looks/sounds about right.
you could always get the plain wooden corkboards and just paint them white...wait, perhaps you can't sniff paint if you're preggers...yes? no? omg...i dunno, but i do love the look!

I didn't know you could comment! I always just wait to tell you my comments in person... duh me. DIY all the way - especially if its in your laundry room where chances are only you will see it.
