Pinterest Inspired Clipboard Photo Wall
October 25, 2013
I saved this photo on my Pinterest boards a long time ago. I loved the clipboards with vintage photos in their original folders.
Now to hang my frame and my clipboards, and add the vintage family photos in folders.
These photos are hanging in my family room/den. I love how I can change out the photos easily.
Do you like my idea of clipboards in a large frame?
Slowly I found three old clipboards at rummage sales, and luckily my Aunt had one to give me too, to make four. Three of them were A & W Crown clipboards.
Here are my four clipboards on my kitchen table.
I decided to try a little Old English Furniture Polish with scratch cover on the clipboards to even out the different shades and water spots.
Do you remember when I found these large gallery photo frames for $8 each at a thrift consignment shop?
The frame is beautiful.
It has a very warm, rich brown color.
But to give it an aged look, I distressed it with a hammer and Phillips fine screwdriver.
Then rubbed the frame down with the Old English Furniture Polish with scratch cover.
I love the way it turned out. Instant age!

ReplyDeleteI've shaved that photo too!

What a great idea! I love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteLove this Carlene! And I can't believe I just sold 8 old clipboards with my haunted maze stuff. Darn it!!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of the frame and clipboard !
ReplyDeleteOh I love this idea, how fabulous is that. The clip boards are wonderful and the frame is gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI like this idea, Carlene. I've got lots of family photos in their stock frames from the photographer that would work for this display. Is that you on the bottom right?
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute too stinking cute...
ReplyDeletehugs, Cherry
I really like t his idea and it turned out perfectly! I love family photos, old and new, and it's always difficult to find enough table top display space for them. Randomly hanging them on the wall can just look messy but this idea brings them together into a cohesive piece of wall art! Well done! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteLove it "framed" like that! I have a stash of clipboards here waiting for the perfect purpose :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen the clipboards before, but love how you have framed them! Really makes them special!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Carlene ... I need to do that with some of my collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteLove this idea, best inspiration I have seen in awhile :)
ReplyDeleteLove your idea!! So unique!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it Carlene! Thinking I need to find a place to do at least two of these. Don't you just love Old English? My mom always used it and now I do too. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Carlene, the look is great framed. The boy in the striped shirt looks just like a boy named Paul I went to school with. Love the clipboards.
ReplyDeleteHi Carlene, Just hopping by to let you know that I will be featuring you at SYC this week.

It came out great! I like the black, white, brown scheme.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've always liked clipboards and I have some but not old...just a bunch I picked up at Staples for my "command center". LOL! I'll be keeping an eye out for some old ones. Any idea on what to do with an old waffle iron that no longer works? You have such great ideas and you've done so much with so many old items. I wasn't sure if you ever did anything with one of those. Or would it work if I had it rewired? Any experience with them? Thanks for any ideas. I'm trying to "use it up, make it do, throw it out or buy it new". TTYL!
ReplyDeleteLike it???
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it - and if I wasn't drowning in reno's here - I'd be running around looking for these !!!!!!!
Pinning for sure - genius Carlene!
XOXO
