Bulletin Board DIY
Before, when we had old gross wallpaper, I had a really cute washi taped collage of photos up over my desk as seen below. But I only had 1 desk and it got really cluttered really fast. We were looking for solutions and finally decided to rearrange the furniture in our house. Originally we had a desk in the living room as our 'entertainment center' but since we don't have a TV and don't plan on getting one, it just didn't make any sense to have a random desk in our living room. So we moved it into my office and solved 2 problems. I got more work space and we no longer had a desk in the living room. Win, win. When they redid our walls I had to take my collage down and I haven't been able to settle on exactly what I want to do above my main workspace desk yet, but I definitely want it to be more pretty than functional on this side. But on the other side I needed a bulletin board to post up ideas, to do list, sketches, inspiration, etc. But I didn't want to invest in anything quite yet and wanted something simple and cheap. And as always, it was a renter-friendly option!
This is the space before. I have a large wall, so size wasnt an issue. I wanted to be sure to keep it only over the left desk, to leave room for pretty-ness on the right. I looked around and realized I had bought a white foam board for background photography but it got really beat up really fast and wasnt working as a background for me anymore. So, aha! My quick and easy solution was born. 
Supplies:
- Foam board
- Washi tape
- 3M command strips
I simply adhered the board to the wall using 3M Command strips and then used washi tape to make a border. PS My favorite to do lists are the free ones by Caylee. 
So far I've only used washi tape to stick up photos and sketches, but I think smaller/shorter thumb tacks would work well also. (Photo print by Elise) This project took less than 5 minutes to do the whole thing and cost me nothing as I had all the supplies on hand. Simple, quick, effective, pretty. The best kind of project! 
And in efforts to keep it real, this is what my office really looks like 98% of the time. Multiple projects at once, on the floor, the bed, the desks. It drives me MAD when bloggers only show small corners of rooms and make it look like everything is perfectly clean and styled all the time. UNTRUE PEOPLE, UNTRUE!
