{photography by Max Kim-Bee for Domino September 2006 }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.

Never been a fan of cork. But your post convinced me it can be really beautiful, and totally functional :-) Thanks!
I really love cork. I almost put cork floors in my kitchen, but ended up with Bamboo. Now I can't remember why. But anyways, I do love the options these days with cork flooring.
Great post, dear!
Hope you had a terrific weekend!

I never would have imagined so many uses for cork. I just love the desk cork for photos. Just perfect for a small desk like mine! :)
Love this post - so many ideas! And thanks for the mention, too!

Wow, these photos offer a lot of different options for cork. The floor in the last photo is too cool!
Great post, very inspiring:)
Great post hon! I would love one of those cork bedside tables - that's such a great idea if you have a small table with no space there for frames.
Fantastic post Glamorous - original & great pics.
I especially like the cork on the lamp, that is really cute how you can put photos and other things on there! Great post and selection of photos!
I replaced my cork board with a painting by my grandmother, and while I treasure it, I really miss the cork! It housed everything from my favourite inspirations to my next dentist appointment. Such a cool post!
nice post! Peter Dunham has some cork lamps for sale which you can see at Peter Dunham's shop Hollywood at Home: http://hollywoodathome.1stdibs.com/itemdetails.php?id=190970
Katie, Peter Dunham's lamps are great--thanks for the link.
funny, i just decided to post some cork panels in my spare bedroom, and finally transform it into the home office i desperately need. think i'll try painting it though, as cork in it's natural state is just a just a little to earthy for my current decor.
thanks for the inspirational post!
Love the cork lamps...what a clever idea!
Oooh, I love cork! We used cork flooring in one wing of our client's home and it's held up soo well!
My favorite is the lamp! Great finds!!
I told my husband that when we build our house-we're having cork flooring!
