I showed my husband
this post from Room Remix and he was all for the idea of a Hallway Command Center.
This shocked me because my husband is not 1 to a) like change and b) do anything quickly. I was very surprised when 2 days later I got my very own shelf and chalkboard hallway command center. He even went to the supermarket and bought a pack of giant chalk. I need to put my own spin on it though and I am making my hooks from vintage spoons which I am going to stamp with our names. I think I am going to add 1 extra in case we are blessed with another child and if not I will use that hook for guests or extra items. This is still a work in progress, as is most of my house, but I am thrilled with the results so far and it is right across from the fridge (that's the silver thing in the bottom left of the picture) so I can keep an eye on The Girl from the kitchen so it's pretty awesome so far!
(that's hubby on the floor after a day of shoveling snow)
The video (I hope it works) is The Girl playing with her new chalkboard for the very first time. She loved it and has been having a blast with it. She is even getting her shapes down pat and we worked on her numbers tonight. She is making me look like a liar (my mom said we did that to her all the time) because she knows her numbers till you ask her to say them to others. haha
