Bland Office Makeover

Folding Screen/Message Board–$61
A folding screen is made from three old long, narrow window frames. The frames are cleaned and painted black. The message board panels are made by crisscrossing black grosgrain ribbon over upholstered panels and fastening in the back with staples, and in the front center with a small antique nail head.
