layout display....

I shared this photo over on instagram and had lots of people asking about it.
 I was tired of having piles of layouts sitting  on my table looking untidy. So  I visited Ikea and bought  the IRJA curtain rod set and some curtain hooks with clips.


 
I decided to hang them in my downstairs formal dining area near a window so its nice and bright and my visitors can look at my layouts instead of going through the piles on the table.
My dad cut them to size and then we measured the correct height. I have used regular page protectors to hold the layouts and added in the clips over the curtain rods, I added  the hooks and clips to the holes in the plastic page protectors as well.
 

 I am totally in love with it, and everyone who sees it loves it too!

    HI Kim, this is a fabulous idea.. I usually have piles of layouts too until I put them in albums usually after a month or so... Even if no one else in my house wanted to look at them, I know I would enjoy seeing them hung up for a while to enjoy!! I hope your week is going well!!

    Great idea Kim. I recently tried with some string across the wall, didn't work. So I ended up blu taking the plastic sleeves to the wall and interchanged the layouts that way. Then they all came down because it looked a bit busy so I might have to try something like this.
