This weekend I finally decided to get some work done around my house. One project I’ve been wanting to get done ever since we moved in, was to build a little inspiration wall at my desk. As much as I hate to admit it, my built in desk has been a storage area up until now. So this weekend I got motivated, cleaned it all off, installed cork tiles and finally hung up all of my favorite magazine pages, fabric swatches and photographs.
So happy to be able to sit there, get some work done and have beautiful things to stare at while I do it! Here is my desk now:
So happy with the way it turned out! If I had really taken the time it would’ve been nice to cover the cork in a pretty fabric before tacking things in, but really… my intention is to cover every square inch of it anyways.
And here are some other beautiful inspiration boards around the interwebs:

I love it! I have been wanting to do this above the desk in my kitchen forever! It will make you happy everytime you look at your inspirational images.
Very organized and inspiring! I have always loved inspiration boards. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love this post! Inspiration boards are phenominal. An ode to the days before my laptop was bogged down with folders of images, meaningless names, stored favorites. I think this is such a great reminder to get back to them. I haven’t had one since I moved. Aren’t they the best when your working? When you need a moment to drift off for a minute… there is something so encouraging about taking a moment to absorb some beautiful things. Love this…

I love that you did this AND that I saw this post! This is so needed for me today! I have a pile of pics, tear sheets, postcards, and things that inspire me and have a blank wall with a single print above my desk. It is pretty…. boring.
