Are you ready for another year of homework, things-to-bring, dates to remember, assemblies to attend, family days, quizzes and exams? If you've always relied on filing these in the 'DON'T FORGET' folder up in your head, then it's time to ORGANIZE. Maybe the file-in-a-binder solution or even that monthly calendar with the just too small blank spaces to fill in does not work for you...How about this instead?
Self-confessed control freak CATWife in BKK put up this big clever chalkboard wall to see and organize everything at a glance...

...complete with (chalk) color-coding! Clever indeed! :) Read more about her chalkboard projects here. While you're there, don't forget to take the tour of her lovely home, lots of home ideas and inspiration!
And if you're not comfortable with all that chalk dust, maybe you can check out The Diplomatic Wife's amazing dustless chalk marker discovery.
And yes, she too has a lovely organized home. Where to start? I suggest you start the tour with her carefully measured, well-thought of cabinets and furniture here. The Diplomatic Wife does space planning so well, learn from her that every millimeter counts!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finish my next decorating project, my dining room buffet corner, and share it on my blog too! You are going to love the modular L-shaped buffet cabinet with adjustable shelving and built-in adjustable drawer dividers I'm sure. =)
I love the chalkboard wall idea for a family with kids! Amazing. I just Pinned it on Pinterest. And I truly believe that organizing is not just a time-saver but sanity saver too! =D
