Idea for Displaying Your Child's Ribbons and Client Work

If you have kids who participate in individual sports such as swimming or horseback riding, then you know how many ribbons come with the sport.  I recently worked with a client who wanted a storage/display solution for the ribbons that were taking over her daughter's room. 

I showed her this image and she loved it!

I suggested using a large 24 X36 cork board, around $35 from an office supply or big box store.  To achieve this layered look, start pinning ribbons using thumb tacks at the bottom and work your way up.  The more ribbons, the better.  

This was all part of a mood board plan for the room.  The wall color (bright green) and furniture (black) were remaining in the room. For some reason I cannot upload a before picture.

Because the walls are such a strong green, I thought it was best to go with white bedding and bring color in through accent pillows.

I also planned a mood board for the adjoining bathroom.

I went with a strong pink for the cabinet base and decorator's white on the walls.  Mom likes it and my fingers are crossed that her daughter does too.  Is it possible for a mother and daughter to agree?  We shall see...
