Stringing kids' artwork across the wall using clothespins or some other type of clip is a perfect way to appoint a child's room. And the functional aspect is especially terrific; interchanging pieces is as easy as unpinching a clip.
An obvious place to display children's artwork is in their own rooms. Try a different spin on things by using clothespins to attach pictures to twine for an inexpensive display solution.
The best thing about this look is you can find pieces inexpensively once they're on your radar. Hunt down a distressed desk and chair at a flea market or antiques store, and add a metal toolbox for office supplies.
A vintage toolbox significantly upgrades a vintage school desk's usability (that's modern talk for "creates more space to put stuff.") The old black chalkboard looks period perfect, doesn't it?
A sweet vintage wooden desk and folding chair give this boy's bedroom a touch of cottage comfort. The toolbox that sorts school supplies tops it off perfectly.

i love the desk. Large vintage toolbox replaces the more commonly used shelving system. Weathered desk and chair bring boyish charm to this boy's room.
