I personally find it really unattractive. Do stickems work for you ( I know they fall off enventually) I always mount magnets or traditional bulletin boards. what about a BB with criss cross ribbons so you just tuck things under the ribbon. They are called French memo boards or French bulletin boards. You can easily make them yourself to go with the room.

Here is a link that might be useful: example of purchased French BB

This is to be used more for function than looks. I am working on a project that I need to sort a bunch of small papers (LOL). I had originally thought of using glue on paper but that seems like a lot more work.

I've had one, and it also holds dust, cat hair and bugs!

A magnetic board and magnets is better.

I have one hanging on the inside of my front hall closet door. I stuck on it: business cards , town notices(gargage collection days, pool and library schedules etc). You cannot overlap , of course, and anything heavy falls off. But I like it and its out-of-the way.
