❀ CURRENT PRODUCTION TIME ❀
Our current production time for framed magnet boards is about 6 weeks plus shipping. Thank you for understanding that hand built frames take time. Production time of other, smaller items is shown in the listing's details "Ready to Ship in xxx days or weeks."
~ We are delighted to be featured in Real Simple magazine and HGTV ~
How are OUR BULLETIN BOARDS different from other magnet boards you may find? We build the frames from scratch! We also hand paint each frame using Benjamin Moore products (no spray paint here!). Our pieces are specially designed to be bulletin boards. Our original construction makes for an extra-sturdy and meticulously crafted piece, handmade by us.
-- We use the finest materials--solid hardwood, beaded trim, low-VOC Benjamin Moore paint, local steel, and designer fabrics--to create each board.
--Want a custom order? No problem. You tell us the size, the surface, and the frame style and finish (barnwood, natural wood with beeswax, or painted hardwood in any color of paint) and we make it happen.
-- All magnet boards are shipped ready to hang with 2 D-ring hangers. We even include the magnets.
-- Perfect for kids, home, dorm, office, or wedding reception to display menus, photos, seating place cards, or small favors.
-- Display photos, notes, memos, and quotes without damaging your items with pushpins.
Thanks for stopping by!

5 out of 5 starsThe quality of the items matched my expectation. I ordered two frames. Both are lovely. They are also both vastly superior to what we had been using on the refrigerator door. The gift recipient was thrilled.

5 out of 5 starsI was looking for this particular size to beautify two permanent papers on my fridge. Beautiful paint job, very clean construction of the frame, and the magnets are very strong. I love the way they look in my home!

5 out of 5 starsThese were fantastic. Everyone puts pictures on their refrigerators. This makes the kitchen feel both homey and cluttered. We have a picture of a beloved relative on the refrigerator. I bought two frames, a plain one, and a lavender one that brings out the color of her outfit. I gave both to my wife. She was overjoyed. Both frames add significant class and keep the picture on the fridge from looking loved but unkempt. She has trouble deciding which one she likes better. They are good quality. They are attractive. They are a hit.

4 out of 5 starsMagnets were definitely smaller than expected given the price. I guess I was expecting at least nickel size, but these were dime size and smaller. I would have preferred fewer magnets at a larger size.

We use reclaimed US barnwood to build our farmhouse chalkboards and fabric magnet boards. Perfect for a rustic wedding.
We start with wood. We reach for a ruler and a saw. We sand by hand. We paint. We add fabric, dry erase, or chalkboard. The result is one of a kind.
We are John and Jane, bride and groom, and the heart and hands behind Elegance Farm. Using our original design, we hand build each solid hardwood framed magnetic bulletin board--one at a time--from our NJ farmhouse. John enjoys using hand tools instead of power tools whenever he can. We use locally milled US-grown lumber, US steel from the fabricator in our town, and Made in the USA fabric when possible.
Although we both have science degrees (John was happy working as a research chemist and Jane as a science editor for children's books), we have always loved creating things with our hands. Cabinets, jewelry, quilts, and gardens . . . they have all emerged from our labors of love. Then, what started as a simple request from our niece Mary blossomed into our business. We "quit our day jobs" in spring 2012 and now happily run our shop full time.
We have been featured by Real Simple magazine and HGTV. Our boards grace the walls of Sotheby's Auction House in NYC, Microsoft headquarters, and the Mayo Children's Hospital as well as hotels, schools, and corporate conference rooms. But the work we feel most fortunate to create are the pieces for special customers throughout the world, such as the family adopting two daughters from Africa who wanted a message board to hang family photos, welcoming the girls to their new home. Or the daughter in England who bought one for her mum in a nursing home. She could no longer use pushpins because of her shaky hands but wanted a place to display her cards and letters from friends. The list goes on and on. It is what makes this job so rewarding and what makes us excited to start each day.
We enjoy supporting our local lumberyard, steel fabricator, and fabric stores. We scour local estate sales for vintage buttons to make our magnets. We are becoming a thread in our local economy. We grow many of our own vegetables and share them with our family and neighbors. The latest addition: a chicken coop with a variety of egg-laying, entertaining chickens! It feels good. And because of our wonderful customers, who decide to support handmade, we are able to work and live this way. Thank you, and we look forward to creating many new pieces for you in the future.
