The Story

A neighbor just a few houses up the street set a wicker-framed mirror out in the alley along with some other stuff. I immediately had the idea of converting it to a bulletin board and using the mirror in a different project. I freshened up the paint with one of my go-to colors, a khaki-pale green (Benjamin Moore satin “Seaspray”). I was thinking about where to buy some cork panels when by coincidence, just a few days, later I found four of them sitting on top of a trash can a few blocks away; don’t worry, they were quite clean! A sign from the upcycling gods. I cut them to size and doubled up the thickness to better accommodate standard push pins. I painted over the cork so the tan color would not show through the covering fabric, which I attached with some spray adhesive. I had a remnant just the right size leftover from several other projects in which I’ve used the same paint and fabric.
