| My latest bargain was found at my local Goodwill store. Just stopped in to find a gray belt, which I found. I always go through the leaning stack of framed art in the back. I found not one, but two bamboo tack boards with white frames. They looked so cool, I thought at first they were just framed bamboo. Then I realized someone had made them to be tack boards. They totally look like they are right out of a Ballard Designs catalog! |  |
 | I’m going to start part-time homeschooling (yes, you can do that) with my oldest daughter this fall, so I knew these would work great in our new study. This room was previously our nursery, and now will function as my design office and Audrey’s schoolroom. I envision using one to post special assignments or studydates. The other might be where I pin my daughter’s latest piece of artwork. |
| But you know what? There’s other ways to use these. Since there are two, they’d work great as a pair of everchanging art displays. Simply cut out colorful scrapbook papers or old wallpaper samples and tack them in the middle. They’d be great in a child’s room. Change them out when you want a different look. |  |
 | Or, I could use them as mini-inspiration boards to pin fabrics, color swatches, decor ideas, and pics when working on a room for a client! |
What’s the best thing about these? They were only $2.99 a piece. And they’re recycled. And the money went to a good cause. And they make me happy! Go, Goodwill!

Oh, I love going through the framed art at thrift stores. I see so many great things. I often think of you when I am there and wonder if you might like and could use some of them. I absolutely have no place to put them all in my house. You must have so much fun decorating other peoples houses with your great finds!
