Chalkboard Wall Command Center Details

Here we go everyone!

Today is the day I want to share with you our organization area.

Are you ready?

First things first...

when we started with our chalkboard wall, it was just a blank slate for doodling, random quotes, and grocery lists.

As I was flipping through a magazine one day (I forget which one), I saw one lady who had a chalkboard wall command center.

I thought, what a freakin' great idea! I'm gonna have to give that a try.

It just made so much sense and now our chalkboard wall is actually being used in a better way.

Here is how it looks now.

Actually, the picture just below shows the chalkboard command center incomplete...but keep reading! :)

The top says "Inspirations"

Next is the "Mom and Dad" center

We have a "Calendar" area complete with pens and markers

Lastly, but NOT least, we have the "Grocery" and the "Kids Space"

Remember my cereal box post?

I turned these 2 cereal boxes into storage boxes for the hubs and I- it's a great place for us to keep notebooks, coupons, receipts, etc.

I thought about buying 2 storage boxes, but really didn't want to spend the money on that.

Why not just use what you have, right?

I covered the boxes in wrapping paper- leftover from this project. 

I also used an empty utensil box for markers and pens and covered it in some white masking tape!

I love it, my husband loves it, and importantly, our kids love it!

It's so much more functional now and has more of a purpose.

And for some extra "flare" I taped some paint swatches onto our boxes.

It just adds some color and a little bit of fun to them.

How do you try and stay organized?

Do you have a chalkboard wall command center you love to use?

Thanks for stopping by!
