Pixelated Wainscotting

If you’re a proponent of both [[GTD]] and good design, you’ll love Pixel Notes. I can’t seem to get to the website about it (it may be down), but from the images at swissmiss, it looks like an entire wall covered in post-it notes that get progressively darker as you move further down the pad. Continued use in a certain location results in a darker patch there, reflecting fluctuations in activity throughout the room. I love it. I’d never have to search around for paper again. I’m seriously considering doing this when I finally “settle down.” (My house is going to be a wacky playhouse of mystery and inspiration.)
The impracticality of using post-its near the floor and ceiling make me want to use this, but only as wainscotting (the little band in the middle of the room that separates the paint from the wallpaper, if you do it that way). There would obviously have to be some sort of moulding around the post-its, so that its protrusion doesn’t look ungainly. I think it could be pulled off. (Get it? Pulled off!)
very cool

What a great idea. I’m constantly starting lists and if someone moves it from the “list area”, I’m lost! Now I would have a whole wall. perfect!

That is one expensive decorating option! I think the practicality may be limited by the fact that ballpoint pens hate vertical writing surfaces. Still – it is very cool looking.

Six words for you, Liz: space pens, space pens, space pens!

Oh! Maybe you could get a frame, and make a pixlated “picture” out of post it notes.
