On Good Things Utah, Teresa shared how she turns a simple pinboard into something personal, using photographs, artwork and small details to create a display that belongs in the room.
How Teresa Builds a Board
Teresa does not treat a pinboard as a place to tack up loose papers. She builds it in layers, mixing photographs with artwork, finishes, typography and small objects until the board feels like part of the room.
Start With the Board
Teresa uses the larger surface almost like a working mood board, layering photographs, finishes, color references and small objects into one evolving display.
Small Pieces, Used Differently
Use Objects in Unexpected Ways
Teresa treats the pin as more than jewelry, working it into ribbons, pillows and pinboards as a small gold detail.
Treat Numbers Like Graphics
Teresa takes numbers out of their expected context, framing them or layering them into shelves and gallery walls.
Repeat One Finish
Teresa uses the same polished gold pins across a board so the photographs, notes and artwork stay the focus.
