If (like me!) you spend your free time scrolling through the likes of Pinterest and instagram, or you read interior blogs you will have probably seen wire memo / notice boards pop up somewhere. I love this look but when I went to search online to buy one I couldn’t believe the prices! One brand was charging up to £60.00 for a large wire memo board (and that was without expensive delivery!) I simply forgot all about it because there’s no way I could justify that price for something so simple looking. Keep reading for a happy ending…
Fast forward a few months and I am wandering around New Look and I spotted this absolute steal! A white metal notice board of my dreams (L: 30.5cm, H: 42.5cm) When I spotted the price tag of just £7.99 I probably should have bought three or four there and then! Don’t get me wrong I know it’s not massive but it’s a good size! The bulldog clips are included and you have the option to fix it to a wall if you want. This size is about perfect for me but if you wanted a larger version you could just buy two and fix them to the wall right next to each other for just £15.98! I ordered some cute polaroid style prints, a sprinkles cupcake ATM machine and obviously my one true bae had to feature somewhere. I chose his ‘paint me like one of your french girls’ look. The more I look at this picture the funnier it gets, he looks like he’s just hanging on in there! There you have it cheap and cheerful and pinterest perfect! You can obviously put whatever you like on your memo board, cute prints, cards, to-do lists, etc, etc! To add a slight pop of colour, I bought these gorgeous pink and red roses for just £3.50, from the co-op, complete with cat mug (obz.) What do you think of my cheaper alternative?! If you fancied a bit of DIY I guess you could always spray paint it rose gold or whatever colour you fancied!

Your wire board looks great, and it was cheap too!

Curse capitalism! They know the things we’re into like wire memo boards and ladder shelves and hike up the prices, even though they are just simple items! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s

I have been looking around for one of these for ages now! Like you say every one I came across was expensive but I can’t believe the price of this one, so good!! I’m definitely going to have to buy one at some point 🙂 x

Love this! I was looking for something to clip pictures on, but I ended up getting a clothesline type thing for a gift and it’s perfect!
I’ll have to check out New Look’s home stuff though!!

That’s insane that they were charging £60 for a wire frame! I got a good one from Primark for about £6 but it wasn’t very big so I may have to make my own like yours!

Ah such a lovely homeware piece, I’ve seen them about on Pinterest etc. too and have always thought they look stylish. I like how you can decorate them any way you like, and your dog is adorable in the snapshot. That pop of pink colour from the flowers is gorgeous as well. 🙂 xx

What a bargain! I can’t believe how pricey some of these are online – it’s crazy. You’ve made a good find here, and like you say, you could always spray paint it a different colour. I love that photo of Oscar – he’s such a cutie!

Where did you order your polaroid snaps from? I was thinking of doing something similar in my kitchen for food pics I’ve taken.
