Over the weekend I decided to get organized. First thing on my list? Set up a little Kitchen Command Center in one of our kitchen cabinets.

kitchen command centerI knew I wanted a Command Center for awhile now above our planning desk but went to the web for some additional inspiration. Then I came across Chelsea’s Hidden Kitchen Organizer that she shared over at Two Twenty One. Seriously almost exactly what I was thinking!

kitchen cabinets command centerI started by adding some colorful contact paper that I purchased from Michael’s (from about a year ago) to the inside of the cabinets. I stuck a little oversized piece in the cutout nice, then used an exacto knife to trim off the excess.

I was actually quite surprised that this only took me about 20 minutes to put together and cost me less than $13 in new supplies to create. Yep, that makes me one happy, organized mamma.

    Cute and functional. Always the best. I need to do this in my office. I’m pretty sure the husband wouldn’t play along and things would still be thrown all over the desk. A girl can dream though, right?

      Haha! I totally believe in electric shock therapy so every time he still throws the keys on the counter I give him a little zing 😉

    What a great idea. Do your cabinet doors close O.K. with the hooks and chalk boards?

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Yep! They close perfectly. I had to be careful with the hooks so my keys didn’t hang down too far, but everything worked out wonderfully!

    This is such a great idea! I love that you can close the cabinet door and it is completely hidden. We just did a kitchen command center on a chalkboard wall, and I don’t know how I lived without one for so long. It’s great to feel more organized.

    How cute! I love how you keep it tucked away in your cabinets. We don’t have a ton of wall space in our kitchen so this is a great idea!

    I love that you’ve put it inside the cabinet so it can be hidden. Do you find that the hooks get in your way when you’re trying to access things in the cabinet? I really need something like this. Thanks for sharing!

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Not at all. The hooks are very small and don’t take up too much space. As you can see I have wine glasses and other items in that cabinet. No problems at all!

    I love how this came out! It looks so pretty and will keep everything organized at the same time!

    So in love with this idea. Looks Great!! Is there a link to get the dry erase Menu board?

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Sorry, I don’t have a link for the menu. The printed versions were handed out at the conference 🙁

  12. Erica @ Craftivity Designs says

    So cute! I have a lot of those same items from Michael’s, love how pretty they are! I featured you on my Kick-Off Friday post! http://craftivitydesigns.blogspot.com/2013/05/kick-off-friday_17.html

    I love your command center. The pink paper and all your finds are adorable. If you get a chance, please share this on my link party http://suburbsmama.blogspot.com/2013/05/sunday-link-party-8.html

    Loving this! I’m on a mission for kitchen organization and this fits right in. Question: How did you adhere the hooks? With double-sided tape, too?

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Yep, double sided tape! LOVE that stuff 😉

    Love this….the one thing I would add would be someway to keep a dry erase pen, regular pen and chalk in the same spot.
