Castle Query: Tacky or Terrific?
In browsing the interwebs the other day, I came across this photo:
It was part of an organization series on Better Homes and Gardens' website. They basically took an entire wall of an office and created a quilted memo board. I am not fond of the colors, but the idea intrigues me.

Here someone converted a folding screen into a memo board. Same basic idea, just a slight variation.
What do you think? Is it tasteful or tacky? Should I incorporate this into my office design plan, or let it be?

I prefer the first photo, which I like. I really like the linen look background. I think having a whole wall of memo board would stress me out. But, that's just me.
I also prefer the first photo - small enough that even if it becomes cluttered, no big deal. I think the problem with the bottom one is that it's too packed with the same scale. If you're going to do it, you have to either embrace it as a bulletin board that will gather stuff or as an art piece. It's hard to have both in something like that.
I think for a child or teenager, the last two would be perfect! I am a photo nut, so I tend to like boards like this also.
I think the colors make a big difference. And the smaller versions are awesome. I dont know if I could manage the really big one!
Thanks for everybody's opinions! I was leaning towards the first one as well, and just about everyone concurred! I'll keep that in mind when we tackle the office in the coming months.
