Felt Letter Boards

Back in the day they were displayed in coffee shops, doctor's offices, churches, school buildings, etc to relay information.  Today, the resurgence of felt letter boards has become one of the hottest home accessory design trends over the past year.  Every board comes as a blank slate, ready for you to personalize and make into your very own.

As a perfectionist who sometimes struggles with the smallest of decisions (read: what should I write on my letter board?) , I really appreciate the fact that it's easy as pie to switch it up.  In fact, I could spell out a new quote on my letter board every single day if I wanted to!  Hallelujah for feeling no pressure!  If you're wondering what kinds of things you'd write on your own letter board, the possibilites are endless!  Here are a few ideas.....

- Display your weekly menu in the kitchen.

- Use it as the menu for a dinner party.

- Display your Bucket List!

- Write out your favorite inspirational and sentimental quotes or sayings.

- Show your humor and personality with funny quips or jokes.

- Display your brand new baby's information, lay it next to your baby, and you've got a birth announcement!

- Use it to commemmorate or announce big milestones and life events: "Just Married", "Baby Coming Next September", "First day of Kindergarten!" , "Our first home", "Happy 10 Years of Marriage!", etc.

- Display your personal or family goals.

- Use it as a "Happy Birthday" sign.  Here is one I did a few months ago for my son on his 5th birthday:

I picked my Letter board up from Letterfolk Co (the same company that Chip and Joanna buy from, and bonus- they are local!  Based out of SLC!).  It's become a family favorite that I'm sure we will use for many years to come. Here are some fun photos from their instagram feed:
