painting up a chalkboard wall seems pretty popular and i do like the idea of an expanse of wall just waiting for me to pen a mushy love note, or a burst of creative expression, or just a grocery list.
the thing is i don't know how many messages i would actually write, and i always wonder about chalk dust on the floor, and i've heard that even if you wipe them down really well, these chalk board walls are never as pristine as you would like.
so i am really loving this idea of a wall of cork.
i could put up pictures, magazine clippings, cool bumperstickers, pins - all the visuals of my life. and while i like the natural cork, i bet it would look awesome painted the wall color so it just disappears and all you see is your beautifully evolving wall of ephemera...

Love this idea! I had tried before to make a HUGE corkboard for my office with a frame around it but I never got it completely figured out. This seems really cool though.
This is very happifying, I got cork tiles and cut them and put them up between my windows over my desk to hang postcards and photos and pictures.
my vote:
corkboard > blackboard
sparkle - i think this is probably just a sheet of cork - but you can get 12" sq. tiles at walmart - should be easy enough to do i'm thinking...
hannah - i would LOVE to see that - gotta pic?
ptea - great minds think alike :)
