This control center is the information hub of the home. On the left is a white board with everyone's name on it. The whiteboard will be used to communicate assignments and other information to the children and us.
On the right is the calendar.
The wire basket on the left has a slot for each of us and a spot for outgoing things.
The hooks are for bags to collect things that need to be taken to whatever activity each of us have.
The trashcan will be mounted on the wall with adhesive hooks. Drilling holes into plaster and lath walls is not a good idea.
The items on the left replaced a long shelf with hooks underneath. The shelf was flat and therefore was piled with things every time I have seen it in all the years since it was put up.
The center will no doubt require some fine-tuning but it is a good start.
The whiteboard was $20 from Costco. The calendar was seven dollars from Staples. The rest of the items we had on hand.
I wanted some wall pockets instead of the wire basket on the left but I was not willing to pay the high prices.
IKEA has a wall file that will work for a reasonable price so I may pick one up the next time we are there.
