Today I'm joining Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality for Today's Thrifty Treasures. I've had this photo hanging around in my file for quite a while now. The clipboards were purchased a while back for .50 each. I finally finished refinishing the old desk that I imagined them hanging above. Here's my attempt at a fabulous idea. I'm not sure I pulled it off, with their cute molding and smaller space, it seems to work better.
Here is their version from Martha Stewart.com.
And, here's mine. What do you think? I figure that with a few vertical items on each side of the desk, it will give the clipboards a better feel. I'm still looking for an old ladder and possibly a bookshelf.

I love, love, love your colors! You're right though, it needs something more around it. Maybe a darker color even behind it??
I had to come check out the pics as soon as you left this morning. LOVE the new office!!! Seriously wish I had your creativity!
Hi, Kayleen, so nice to meet you. I love your version, it looks great! I just think you need a few more things around that space & see if you can find a neat desk lamp like theirs too. Great look! Thanks for joining the party.
I think they look great!
So cute, so simple and so CHIC!! I lovelovelovvvve you blog header too!!
Very cute idea! It looks great.
Seriously, I'm so behind! The desk is fantastic, btw. The clipboards though are fantastic! This is absolutely just off the top of my head, btw because I LOVE the clipboards as is, but if you framed them out with a small molding, they would really stand out!
I'm totally gonna copy this idea, too. ;)
