French-style Notice Boards were traditionally used in Hotel & Office Reception areas as message boards, and notelets or envelopes containing messages would be tucked under the criss-cross ribbons. They have recently become very popular - being an ideal solution to organizing our busy lives both at home and in the office. Some of their uses are:-
In the Kitchen for family members to leave messages
for each other and to keep appointment reminders handy. In your Office, for keeping important business cards, to-do lists and reminders to hand. In the Hall - to keep invitations, change of address cards, important phone numbers for plumbers, electricians etc. In the Bedroom - great for displaying photos, postcards and other ‘memories’. Smaller Key Holder versions have been made with little fleur-de-lys hooks, perfect for hanging up all those house & car keys. They also make pretty & practical Gifts for people of all ages. I make all of the boards myself, using a wide range of quality fabrics, grosgrain ribbon (which won’t stretch like satin) and the finest upholstery studs and brass pins. They are made using an eco-friendly pin board that is not only durable, but can be pinned into without causing damage. They come ready to hang, and where fabric design allows, can be adjusted to hang vertically or horizontally. Pin & Tuck Notice Boards come with the option of tucking small items under the grosgrain ribbons, or pinning larger items into the generous padding or the pin board. I use sturdy pin board material (as used in schools, offices etc), unlike some versions which are made of hard MDF or easily damaged fibreboard. Hopefully you will find something to suit your decor. If not, bespoke boards can be made to any size you like or with your own fabric. Matching cushions can also be supplied. Please ask for a quote.
