Crafty Industrial

You know, I've been loving the plywood look for a while now, I've just been really unsure to be honest about committing to it. It's one of those things where if you do, it can be beautiful or it can be a disaster. But I really like this idea seen recently in Real Living Magazine. Rather than committing to nailing the plywood to the wall (floor to ceiling), just use as a backdrop as shown here. A simple and very affordable way to get the look. And a perfect aesthetic for the home "crafty" office. And I don't know if you can really see in this photo I took of the page, but the receipt filing system is genius. Check it out! It's a piece of MDF covered in pretty paper, with 12 pins holding "hanging bulldog clips" which are holding kraft paper envelopes; each with a letter (draw, print or cut) representing each month. And while we're on the genius subject, talk about the mdf workstation in the back there. Set on three filing cabinets. Such great and affordable ideas. So much room, room to make, room to sew. Love!
