Good morning, Margaret.

Please find instructions for this project below. Thank you for your question and for watching the show!

Bulletin Board
A cheap and easy way to contribute some color to the room along with some function is to make your own bulletin board.
Supplies Needed:
Frame (Find one you like at any discount store)
Homasote
Fabric (should be 2” longer around than board)
Quilt Batting
Staple Gun
Staples
6” of wire
Electrical tape (at least 1” wide)
Standard Picture Hangers
Hammer
Decorative Border (optional)
Scissors

Directions:
1. Gather all your materials. First purchase your frame and then you can work around that piece. You can find a frame at any craft or décor store, the size of the frame is completely up to you. Next, purchase homasote at your local lumber yard, have them cut your piece there. It should ¼” less than the outside of your frame.
2. Measure out your batting to be the same size as your homasote. Your fabric should be 3” longer all the way around than your homasote. Tip: Measure Twice, Cut Once!
3. Lay your fabric with the finished side facing your work surface. Place batting on top of that. Make sure your fabric is lying flat underneath the board and pull it up over the batting and homasote. While holding the fabric in place use a staple gun and place staples about an inch apart from each other all the way down the board. Wear safety glasses!
4. When you have completed one side flip the board around fold the next length of fabric over the piece and put several staples in, to secure it in the corner. Be checking the fabric for wrinkling. Continue until your fabric is secured to the homasote.
5. Then using thick black electrical tape mount the frame to your bulletin board.
6. Attach wire to the back of the frame using the staple gun, making the bulletin board simple to hang. The wire should not be pulled tight but leave room for the frame to hang. Then simply secure a hanger (or 2 depending on the size of the bulletin board) onto your wall and hang the wire from the bulletin board.
Tip: This is a fun project, so don’t worry too much about particulars…Just make it work!

I love the chairs in (I think) the living room … white cushion, looks like burlap fabric up the sides? looks like old chairs redone? Is there a picture available or info if they’re new chairs?
I watch the show on PBS in Michigan as many Saturday mornings as I can.
Thanks ever so.

Hi,

I loved incorporating the sheet music into the walls of the music room. I was dissapointed you didn’t show how to do that. I would love to on some walls here. My family is really into music.

Thanks,

Lara

I have looked everywhere for the wall planter you used on each side of the door on the outside of the house. They are apparently from Ames which directed me to Planter.com but to no avail.

I have watched a few of the episodes ahead and can also not find the plastic wicker look planters used on the porch.

Any help available?

I love the show,
Marilyn Bronson
