I don't know about you, but I get loads of papers that come in everyday with the mail, school papers, schedules, reminder notes, etc. It's hard to keep it all organized! I felt like the perfect place to organize all our papers was a wall between our kitchen and hall closet.
I got this used bulletin board at a thrift store for a few dollars. You can find so many of these inexpensive boards. With a little spray paint (black), fabric and ribbon it was transformed!
Here's the wall BEFORE. I used some painter's tape to mark where I would put everything.
Now, it's a great place to put reminders, the dog leash, inspiring quotes and cute pictures our girls draw. I used chalk paint to take a thrift store platter into a small unique chalkboard. I used a basket I already had and hung it with Command hooks. The hooks at the bottom came from TJ Maxx on clearance.
The files are from Target dollar isle (which is one of my favorite isles).
Now, I'm ready for those papers! Do you have a command center in your home? I would love to hear how you organize your daily paper trail.

What a great spot to keep organized, I love that it's handy but a bit out of sight. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam! I'm already feeling more organized with just the school papers alone. Thank goodness!
DeleteLooks great! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aubrey!
DeleteI REALLY LIKE THE BULLETIN BOARD IDEA AND THE CUTE NUMBERED HOOKS UNDERNEATH. IT IS ALL PLEASING TO THE EYE. GREAT JOB.
ReplyDeleteMy organizing-loving heart just loves this! And it looks like so so cute! I've got a spot by our garage door in the kitchen that I desperately need to add a bulletin board too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris! I don't know why I waited so long to do an organizational spot in our home, but I'm so glad I did- it's really helping me out!
DeleteI love how you make the functional, fun. And pretty! The bright ribbon and cute file folders make this such a happy little addition to your kitchen! I have something like this inside my pantry doors, I would be lost without my command center!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. I don't know where this command center has been all my life but it's helping me survive four kids and the paper trail. Glad you have one too. Hope you've had a great weekend. Thanks for hosting the link party- it's my favorite!!
DeleteWhat a hard working little spot! Love how you've organized everything. Thanks for linking up with us at Best of the Nest!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so helpful to have this spot in our home. Thanks for hosting Best of the Nest!
