Command Center Components

As part of my plan to get us organized, I've decided to start a Command Center.  I've looked a dozens of these recently while deciding what components I need for my life and family.   I've been picking up a lot of pieces that I may be able to use.   Anything that I don't use for my command center I'll find another use for.



I decided a dry erase calendar was definitely a must and found a large one, framed, 
at Joann's, where I used a 50% off coupon and paid only $8 for it.


 Then I want a chalk board so I am going to use the one I purchased a few weeks ago on my Treasure Hunt with Anna.  It is fantastic and already has the days of the week on so I can leave reminders or message in advance to be used later in the week, love this piece.  I think this will be my center component.


Then there's the mail and bills to consider.  
I found this cute red file rack with 2 compartments which will work perfectly.  
Again, got it for 50% off at a Hobby Lobby sale.  




I purchased folder bins for my Receipts. This is an essential part of my center.


I found these darling clipboards at Hobby Lobby, on sale of course.  
These will be a board for my shopping needs and the other for chore list.


I had to have some words of inspiration also.  


And this door knob hook, well it was just to cute to leave behind.

I haven't figured out the arrangement yet, that's a work in progress.  All the pieces are different colors and textures.   I'm not a classic "everything one color" person.   I love color and variety.  My world has never been a one color palate.

I'm going to set my Command Center up in our kitchen.  We have a small wall over a my pantry cabinet which will work great.  It's centrally located, easy to see and convenient.

So now I have pieces, let's see if I can put my puzzle together as well as organize my life again.

  13. This post interests me very much because I could use practically all of the items here. I'm not nearly as good at remembering things like I used to. Mommy brain is real! I also need a place to put a lot of things like receipts and all of that. Thanks so much for sharing!

  14. Love it! Never heard of having a command center. My question would be how to get hubby to use it. I have yet to find a way to communicate that doesn't require me to do all the work!
