Colorful Memo Boards
I'm in the final stages of finishing up my office and I have three blank cork boards staring back at me waiting to be finished.

You know I love me some orange. So do I stick with a neutral background to let all of my inspiration shots shine or do I go for a dose of color!
Help a lady out. What would you do?

I was going to go neutral, but then I remembered this shot:

go for bold, i will def match your beautiful room!
With THREE blank cork boards, I'd pull the three top colors you love and use one on each board. I wouldn't necessarily go solid color, but maybe something that has a texture/subtle pattern -- maybe a herringbone or linen or something... Then you could use a neutral ribbon or frame.
Can't wait to see what you choose!
Go bright! And where did you get the fabric on the ottoman? It's fantastic!
def bright!
and um, i want the wall paper in the kate spade ad. le sigh.
Go with your instinct - and remember, its not like you have to live with it forever. My instinct says color and I'm guessing yours does too :)
the color! no question.
bright, bold, beautiful!
Color! I love orange, but I am kind of feeling yellow with that fabric you have. Either one would be fab though!
What if you did a neutral color, but added an orange bias tape border?
Your office is fabulous - loved the sneak peak. I have to vote for color...can't wait to see what you choose!
Color, go bright and bold! I just purchased that exact fabric for 2 little chairs in my master, so happy to see it on another piece, thanks for the visual!
I have two in my office that I plan to paint in a light, muted gold metallic paint. That way I get something more interesting but still fairly neutral!
Love this and love your blog!
Cheers-

Orange, Orange, ORANGE!!!
Go for orange...it is an inspiration board, right? Loving the peak of your space!
My natural instinct is to say that it is a little overwhelming to have a bright color AND lots of papers on a corkboard...However, with three of them, maybe do one a bright orange and the other two more subtle, but coordinating fabrics!
Can't wait to see what you decide!
Bold! Go bold I say! It isn't like the boards are true furniture pieces, so when you get tired of them swap out the fabric.
I agree with Annie, because I think the individual color boards will help you focus on your dreams!

I vote for a bright and bold burlap or grass cloth.

Go with orange! It's such a hot color right now and easy to change if you get tired of it.
First of al -love,love,LOVE the fabric on the armchair! I was also floored by the first photo from Kate Spade, my sister has the exact same chest of drawers!
Seriously love that ottoman! If I were you I would go with a neutral color for the boards-white or off white. Then I would frame the boards and paint the frames orange, green or yellow (all 3 the same).That way you get the best of both worlds-a neutral surface to allow your inspiration shots to shine and that shot of color that speaks to your personality. I love reading your blog and I am sure whatever you decide will look great!
i love it all! go for the bold!
Camila - I like Kendra's idea. Maybe something inspired by that gorgeous ottoman in your picture? A neutral pattern and then trimmed in some amazing bold colors? Can't wait to see what you do - I'm sure it will be fantastic!
