The wall was one of the main walkways from her front room to the kitchen, and had housed a large wine art canvas for as long as she could remember. After scoring a metal grate at a local hardware store (8.00 down from 70.00..truly. What!?), we quickly brainstormed out own version of this DIY project:

We ordered an 11.00 roll of cork online to fit perfectly behind out 24x36 metal grate, and upon receipt, we tackled the project in an afternoon with some oil rubbed bronze screws, hot glue, and a quick trip to Target for some Nate.. (Berkus, that is!).
We were able to land several of our Berkus finds in the Clearance section, making this DIY easy on the eyes AND the pocket book.
The geometric design and brushed gold finish lends itself to the modern appeal that's trending right now, and picks up just the right amount of light for the space. This heavily trafficked space now serves as an area to plan meals for the week, keep track of events for quickly growing kiddos, family events, save the dates, photos, etc.

We hot glued the cork to the grate, screwed it to the wall, added screwed to hang heavier items on the grate, and push pinned the rest!
