Ever since we moved into our house, almost three years ago, I have wanted a pin board in the kitchen – somewhere to hang school notes, store deals, and reminders.

I was looking at an “extra” pile we had in our guest room and I came across this old poster we had hanging in our old house.

Here’s the mess I wanted to have organized on the kitchen counters.

I took the frame apart and found this foam board behind the poster.

I wrapped the foam board with some extra fabric and then glued it on.

Yay! Simple! Free! Organized!

 UPDATE:It’s all a lie.

I wrote this post 2 weeks ago and at the time it was clean. But two weeks later the area is completely messy again. You can barely see the board and no part of the counter is visible.

Just keepin’ it real folks.
