I was sick and tired of having lists everywhere. A to do list, grocery list, menu list, and schedule. It was time to put all of my junk in one place! After much research and deep thought, I finally came up with my perfect organization board.
A clip for receipts. A whiteboard calendar.
 "organizationboard15")
A pen/marker holder. Whiteboard To Do list.
 "organizationboard17")
A whiteboard menu. A whiteboard cleaning list.
 "organizationboard19")
Clip for the ongoing grocery list.
Now for you to make one of your very own! Here is what you will need…
19×31 inch piece of plywood
2 5×7 frames (found at the dollar store)
2 8 1/2×11 document frames (found at the dollar store)
vinyl for chevron print (optional)
Paper Mache box (small)
2 clips
paint
Command Strips (picture hanging)
metal frame hooks
glue gun
paper print outs
measuring tape
First, paint your plywood. Remember to paint the edges too.
I used a paint color sample of Martha Stewart Sultana.
Optional- Put your chevron print vinyl on the board. You can purchase this from my Etsy shop, or cut out your very own.
Cut off the edges of the vinyl.
Lay your picture frames our on the board to determine where you will put them.
Print out the menu, to do list, calendar, grocery lists, and cleaning list. The cleaning list can be found on Brown Paper Packages here. The rest, I made, and you can take for yourself!
UPDATE- I made my own chore list that you can find HERE!
UPDATE- I made my own chore list that you can find HERE!
Calendar- Print 8×10 on colored paper
Grocery lists- Print several 8×10 copies and cut apart.
Menu- Print 5×7 copy.
To Do- Print 5×7 copy.
Take the glass out of your frames. Put hot glue around the inside edges of the frame and replace glass, gluing the glass to the frame.
Put printed papers in their frames and clips.
Paint your paper mache box. I painted mine a very light blue.
Measure where you want your picture hangers to be on the back of the board and nail them in place.
Get your Command Strips and distribute them to each of your frames and clips.
Put the Command Strips on the backs of the frames and place them where you want them on your board.
Hang up your board, and fill it in with all of your lists!
I am basically obsessed with this. Not only is it a fun piece of art in my home, but it is totally functional!

This really is a genius idea. All my lists are scattered throughout my kitchen and purse. I need them all in one place like this! Genius.
I LOVE all this organization! The chevron is perfect and hello, why I have never thought of having a clip for receipts. So smart!! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
Your board idea could not be more perfect! Thank you for sharing.
I’m drooling. My kitchen needs this!

I love this! I am sooo making one – I love your tutorial! Thank you!
LOVE THIS! I sooo need this in my kitchen! Thanks for the tutorial
Did you hang up your paper mache box with command strips as well? Do they really hold things up that well?
I love this idea, I seriously need to try it. Thanks for the tutorial.
-Marie
this was my question also..
Yes, I did hang it up with the Command strips.
I am SO making a cleaning checklist just like that! Brilliant! I started a family organization board months ago and it has been sitting unfinished because I am stuck. Well this just helped me with part of it that I’m stuck on! Thank you!
It looks fabulous! What a great idea! I need this so bad:) Thanks for the tutorial! I am a new follower!!

Kenz,
I love this! Such a good idea. I also have a little gift for you and Harper so I will have to get that to you some time. Hope all is well!

Come over and meet her!
Absolutely amazing!!!
I love this ideas. I will be making one soon. Can you post your cleaning list? I would love to have ideas of what you do daily and weekly. I am a newly work at home mom and have time to have daily cleaning lists so I need as many ideas of what to do as possible. Thanks for sharing
If you click on the photo of the cleaning list above, it should open the photo in a new window. It is larger and easy to read.
Thank you!
Check out flylady.net.
love this!! would it be ok if i pin this on pinterest?? thanks!:)
Pin away! Thanks!
I’m working on my own, it’s still unfinished but I really like how yours is setup. Thanks so much for sharing your printables! I found you through the linky party at I hear nap time

LOVE it! And I really appreciate the printables. I will be working on this during the summer, but making some changes to include homeschooling needs. Thank you SO much for sharing this!
SUPER cute!!! I need this in my little kitchen nook to get organized!
This is sooo cute! Anything to help us get more organized is great. I am going to do something like this over my desk! Thanks and have a great day!
Great job! How fantastic to have all this info in ONE place!

Love the idea!! I have a very small kitchen and with just a little modification it’ll be perfect! Just a very small side note, the board you used is actually called chip board which is far more affordable than plywood. I promise, not a criticism but wanted to mention it for those that might get confused when at the hardware store
Thanks soo much!!!
Saw this on Pinterest and I just have to make my own! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I love this!!!! Just wondering the best way to attache the list frames to the board for easy access when they need to be swapped out.
never mind…noticed that you used the command strips…my bad
Just found your blog from pinterest, FANTASTIC! Love this idea and am inspired to make one of my own, good bye cluttered kitchen counter!
OMG I LOVE THIS! I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OF A COUPLE OF THINGS FIRST! DID YOU USE THE GLASS IN THE FRAMES AS A DRY ERASE TYPE OF THING?
Yes!
I love this but no way can I make it. I am a cook and a nerd not a crafty bone in my body.. Do you sell them I would buy one in pink and brown flowers or polka dots. Really debisearle@comcast.net
I think this is super cool! I’m thinking about covering mine in fabric instead of paint, we’ll see how it works. I won’t be able to use command strips, but picture hanging hardware should still work fine. How did you attach your box?
I just found this and I’m IN LOVE with it! I am having the same problem, and am going to see if I could make this work! I also LOVE your chore list! Lol.
Thanks for such a great idea.
I’m in the middle of making this…can not wait until its finished!!
great job! I would have never thought to use the frames that way, but looks like it turned out just perfect.
INSPIRED! I tried my own and gave you props! Check it out on Pinterest.

Too cute-making this THIS weekend (very excited!)
tweaked this and made my own today—awesome idea, thank you!!! I was wondering though, how did you attach the big metal clips??
command strips work!
This is brilliant!
I LOVED this idea! I’m now following your blog:) I also nominated you for an award. Go to my blog to check out the details.

After I found this on Pinterest I had to come and check this board out. I loved the look of it, and I can’t wait to make it my own! Thanks for posting this!
This was fantastic!!! I actually did this this weekend. My only issue was nailing in the nails to the plywood. I painted mine to suit my own color scheme, but gave you credit! Thanks for the fabulous idea!!!!!!!!!

This is fabulous. I would love for you to link this post to my party Simply Sensational Tuesday.

You did a wonderful job!
This looks fantastic! 
Love love LOVE THIS ! I found your blog through Cheri’s “I am momma hear me roar” and can I say YIPPEE !
Great post and awesome blog – I’m a new follower !
Totally making one of these !
talesofadomesticmama.blogspot.com
Do you have an example of your daily, weekly, monthly cleaning list? That would be great to have too!
It has a link to it on there.
This is exactly what I need for my kitchen! What a great project!
This is brilliant!!! TFS!!!
I am in love with this idea! I’m going off to college in the fall and am going to make one for my best friend!
Can you use fabric instead of paint?
First of all, this is BRILLIANT. Secondly, if I wanted to make my own “grocery” “to do” “menu” lists in order to change the font and color, but like the chevron, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
Thank you so much! You could create your own chevron print, or you could put white boxes over the text and write your own text over them too.
What is the text font you used for the days of the week, menu, groceries, etc
Thanks!
What a great board! I’m going to pin this in my “Pins To DO” section and try to work on it this weekend with a pin-board I haven’t been using for years. I would love to get a closer look at your Daily, Weekly & Monthly lists… to get me started
It’s a fantastic idea!!!! Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!
Thank you sooo much for this! I love it, and I’m sure my husband will, too.
Oh I’m so happy I found you again! See I saw you featured on http://www.iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com and really liked this command center. However I printed the “cleaning list” from http://www.brownpaper–packages.com that same day. I couldn’t find or remember where I’d seen this idea at and have been freaking out for 2 or more days looking for it. I even remembered there was a lady who posted on here her own sports theme but still no luck–until today! I really <3 this idea and can’t wait to make one of my own. Definitely will be back! Thanks!
I found this on pinterest a few days ago, and I love, love, love this idea! I am in the process of creating my own! I can’t wait to finish! Thanks for the inspiration and tutorial!
How did you attach the clips?
What did you use for the Polk dot backing behind the cleaning lists?
Thanks!
I absolutely love this idea. I will be making this as soon as I can!!!
My husband had a stroke and I was looking for something to reorganize him…This is it! I will start today! Thank you for sharing.
I am definitely making this soon! I think it will make great Christmas gifts too! Hope my family and friends like them as much as I do! Was there a box on there for mail? I didn’t notice. If so, what did you use? Will also be adding cup hooks at the bottom of mine for keys and misc! Can’t wait to get started! Really like the fabric cover idea also! Or some cute contact paper!
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing this! Especially all the printables and easy to follow how-to! You rock!
Does this vinyl come in different patterns I noticed your blog ab the dresser as well. I am wanting to do both of your ideas for our new home but would like to use the different patterns for my backgrounds!! Thanks for such an amazing idea!
How can I follow your blog? I found you thru pinterest somehow.
Am making this,, but thinking of framing it….any thoughts?
how do you print your items. i clicked on them but it did not work. any help would be great.
Just right click on them to save them as a photo, then print them off!
So making this today with the hubby! Awesome project!

Hi everyone! I’m goin to be a freshman in college and I fell in love with this idea. I altered it a little bit, the two 5×7′s say “To-Do” “To-Buy” and the 8×10 “To Study!” and then a cork board & a whiteboard calendar. Just a thought for non-mommies! Thank you so much for the idea! I’m in love!
I was wondering what font you used to create your templates? I wanted to make my own cleaning schedule and would like it to match the rest of the printouts!
I love your blog. I am a blogger too. Would you like to exchange features on each other’s blogs? I’d love to be able to work with you. You have such amazing and creative ideas.
would this work on cork board rather than wood? I’m thinking of using this for my dorm and I think it would be awesome to double as a cork board and it might be lighter to hang with command hooks because of the dorm walls. Has anyone tried cork board instead or wood?
I was thinking the same thing! I’m in a dorm as well. If I try it I’ll let you know.

I just found your page on Pinterest. This project is amazing! I printed your chevron papers off to make this today. Love it!
I have bought most of the supplies, but I have no idea where to purchase the plywood. Where can I find plywood like that???
you can buy the plywood at like Lowe’s or Home Depot. It’s a 2×4 precut piece of plywood and just tell them the dimensions and have them cut it to size!
I just made this yesterday!! Super easy, super functional and the total cost for mine was $13.00!!!!
Love this…I have been looking for a while to get something like this but nothing ever seems just right. Of course you can make one yourself. Great idea!
I love this idea! I went to the dollar store today and bought the frames. The only thing I changed was the 5 X 7 frames. It is school time, so the dollar store had 5 X7 cool white boards in frames! I just stenciled on the artwork and wrote the information using a permanent marker. I will see how it holds up. Thanks for the great idea!!!
A little change of plans. I have a really tight budget, so getting the paint and plywood was not fitting in right now. Instead, I put magnets on everything (Since I already had them in my craft supplies) and used a crystal light container to hold the white board markers. Then I placed everything on the side of our fridge
Thanks again for the great idea!!!

Made one today!!! Love it!!!!!!
I made this this past weekend. I decided to tape off my chevron stripes to save money and it was really easy. I am guilty of loving paper calendars (I need to highlight days for test/work/projects/etc) so I am using that rather than the framed glass. And I used a metal cup holder from the dollar store as a pen holder. The clips are a life saver. I’m tracking my spending much better already and I am excited to see the progress I make with my spending. Thanks for this!
How did you tape off the chevron pattern? Painters tape? Free handed?

This is genius! I wish I had a spare wall big enough for this!
I’ve been looking for something like this for my kids! It’s organized and simple. I made mine today and have to say It looks fantastic! Thank you!
Made it! Love it!
Sorry if I missed this in other comments, but you write and erase directly on the glass?
Fantastically Brilliant!!!!
Fantastically Brilliant!!!
what font did you use for everything?
Double checking….what was the paper mache for? I am taking down a old house frame and making this today. It will neaten up my desk.
You’re project inspired me! I reference your article in my post about future plans to remodel our family message center.
thank you for sharing this.
