Awhile ago, I saw on Joanna Gaine’s Instagram an oversized letter board. Personally, I think this will be the latest letter board trend! I decided to make my own for this hallway. Here’s her’s:

Hi friends! I have been working on the little hallway between my kitchen and bathroom. My house was built in 1905 so it has some quirky corners. I call this my butler’s pantry (even though it’s just used for linen and cleaning supply storage. But, hey, if a girl wants to feel fancy, who cares about technicalities?! 😉
