As promised…sharing my pinboard and breaking down how I tackled it in 5 steps…
I started with the large 48″x36″ linen covered pinboard from Pottery Barn ($159), and knew two things: 1) overall, I wanted to incorporate black, white, gold, pink and green since it’s going opposite of my new gallery wall; and 2) I needed lots of awesome logos, stylish women, cool products, and pieces from the fruits of my own labor, since that’s what is getting my creative juices flowing at the moment. Here’s what I did next (and I have no idea if these steps help or not! A method to the madness, perhaps?):

Not as daunting, I hope?
Thanks again to sweet Albertina for mailing me goodies — when put with the pieces I’ve collected over time and recently they add so much more depth.
Perhaps I can get my husband to hang it up for me this weekend? What do you have planned? I am happy to report I am finally feeling like myself again. Phew!
Great job! It looks like you built it up over time.
You found such great clippings! I can’t wait to see it up on your wall Erika!
yeay!!!! OMG I love it!! You did an amazing job! It is perfect, of course like everything you do! :)
Erika, this is absolutely fantastic! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
I love it! I wish I had a dedicated work space to have a great pin board but in my tiny joint it would just look messy. Def gonna use this idea in my sister’s house though…have a great weekend!

Looks great! I love everything you chose! It’s so pretty to look at, I think I might need to make one for myself!
