I used to have a rather large cork inspiration board above my desk, filled with the things I liked to gaze at while working and daydreaming. And while it has since been replaced with a picture wall, I've always missed the versitility of the cork . . .

Perhaps I could find a little cork lamp {above}, similar to
Jessie Randall's, who adds a personal touch with photobooth strips and a brooch from her father's antiques shop.
