Create a Beach-Inspired Memo Board

Upcycle an old window into a clever memo board inspired by a stroll on a beach. Simply add a shelf and paint them both white. Tape cardstock behind each pane, colorblocking sun-bleached shades like sand, faded lime, pale aquamarine and cornflower blue. Decorate a few panes with sea-life stickers and write on the others with dry-erase markers. Photo by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil
