Hey y’all! I’m Kirsten from One Tough Mother, a crafty little blog. I’m a wife to a really handsome hubby (4 1/2 years of marital bliss!), proud momma to a gorgeous 10 year old daughter…I’m a working woman who dreams of crafting for a living. I share my crafts, organizational tips, and other such random-ness on my blog, so stop by and say “hello”!
I’m super excited to be guest posting here at The CSI Project! Thanks to Dee for the invite to hang with you lovely people. 🙂 This week’s challenge was “Pin-spiration” – to recreate something I pinned on Pinterest that inspired me.
I fell in love with this awesome idea – the original Pin that started it all:
So, the story is basically this: We moved into our new house 2 months ago, and I’m learning to deal with a smaller kitchen (trade-off is that we have a killer bar in the basement…totally worth it). Anyway, we have some…well, issues that could use some organizing.
Example #1:
{Kitchen counter-top next to stove}
Example #2:
{The floor in the kitchen next to the pantry}
Example #3:
{Kitchen counter top above sink}
Boo.
Pinterest to the rescue!!!!
I have this lovely wall that’s not doing anything…just chillin’, being a wall. It’s right next to kitchen counter AKA the Family Dump Station (see photo above). It’s perfect. Check out what I did.
The equation goes like this:
{Cool Table from Target}
{Bulletin Board from Target}
{Two Cookie Tins from Dollar Tree}
{Super Stylin’ Washi Table}
{Inbox/Outbox Bulletin Board}
{Magnestic Chalk Chore Charts}
{Dry Erase Calendar}
Here are a few more shots of our new Family Command Center!
We are loving our new organized space. It’s so nice to reclaim my kitchen counters and floor – no more messy doggy bowls!
Thanks so much for letting me share my project with you! I loved the challenge! 🙂 Be sure to swing by One Tough Mother – I’ll be sharing detailed tutorials of all the little projects that make up my Family Command Center.

Great idea! Those cookie sheet chalk boards are genius! I really like the dog bowls and may have to use that one!
