Score!

OK so here is the story on the two bulletin boards. The plan I had was to get a couple magnet boards that were square, the ones that Roberts has. I was thinking of getting three, but em decided I needed to go bigger. She said I should do one bulletin and one magnet board. She had a really big bulletin board so all I would need is a big magnet board. So, I took hers and when I left her house I headed to pebbles in my pocket, an awesome scrapbook store in Orem that a friend of ours owns. She had casually asked if I needed a filing cabinet, I guess she had a couple she was looking to get rid of. I said no, but I am looking for a really big (matching) bulletin board. Well, she just happened to have one that she was going to get rid of that was the exact same size! And, she just gave it to me! So, I got two, within 5 minutes of each other for free that were a match!! HELLO SCORE!!! (thank you brenda and em!!) So then, I still needed to turn one into a magnet board. I looked into painting one with magnet paint and was told it would work. I did it, it did not work. It may work with a million coats, but that stuff is pricey, so I opted for plan B. I had a metal company cut a piece of sheet metal to size (it was way too pricey at the local hardware store), and with the help of my hot hubby we secured it to the bulletin board with liquid nails. I sanded down the frames and gave them both a fresh coat of black paint and they are good to go!!
