If you want to utilize a wall for your notes these days you can buy chalkboard or dry-erase-board paint and turn any wall into a message board. Go one further and use magnetic primer on the wall beforehand and you'll have the ultimate workspace wall.
Frugality weblog Shoestring featured this combination when Shoestring's editor Melissa Massello needed a dedicated workspace in her 485 square-foot apartment so she turned a tiny closet into a cloffice (closet office) and utilized magnetic primer and chalkboard paint on the wall of the closet.
The combination gives you access to notes and any magnetic photo frames, penholders, or other office knickknacks you desire.
