Beautiful Compromise


For ages now I've been longing to have a design wall of my own like so many bloggers use, but the wall space in my sewing area is simply nonexistent. Then I dropped into the local Home Goods store last weekend and found myself a beautiful compromise. This framed piece of burlap is supposed to be a creative take on a bulletin board, but it actually makes a fantastic miniature design wall for my workspace. It fits perfectly on my sideboard-turned-storage-table and is large enough to hold several quilt blocks and small projects at once. I love the way the burlap backing and fancy wooden frame give it extra personality.


And once again I'm reminded that "challenge" is just another word for "opportunity."

    That is so fun and cute! I am glad you found something that worked for you. I have never used a design wall but I am thinking about making one for my space soon.

    Fantastic! I love the rustic elegance of the fancy frame against the burlap which will go very nicely with your sewing style. Don't you just love Home Goods?!!

    That is a great idea! Pretty and practical! I don't have a design wall either but keep thinking I should try to figure out something to use.

    Great compromise! It's so nice to have even a small space to layout so you can step back and see what you're working on : )
