Crafty Saturday!

So as you have seen before, I am a Pinterest FREAK! 

As a mom I'm striving every day to be more organized, having things clean around the house daily for that unexpected guest that drops in. 

One of our biggest issues in our home is the kids and their backpacks every day after school, and in the winter, their winter gear. I have them put them in their rooms but that consists of me throwing one child's down the stairs, tripping over the other, or just seeing them on our dinning room chairs. If anyone knows my husband also, he's OCD! If things aren't perfect we have a grumpy goat on our hands. So with that being I searched Pinterest for a solution and kept coming back to this beauty!

My issue is that I didn't want to make it look like a young child's window, I wanted to keep it looking rustic big time as already in my laundry room I have washboards and vintage looking rug. With it being in my laundry room I didn't want it to have photos because seriously, no one would see the cute photos of my kiddos. So with that I wanted to add a chalk boards. I knew I wanted a to do section under their area so they could see the most important things on their area to do and reminders before school. 

I scored this really nice window at a local antique store for $15.00 but painted HORRIBLE!

All done, yes it has white on it due to J wanting to help and that's ok, it's rustic and it means more knowing he helped!

The hooks are mounted to the wall not the window, I didn't want it to get even heavier. This bad boy weighs about 15 pounds! 

I wanted to make sure that not only do they have their to do, but had a small reminder for the day, and also to know we love them! :) 

So I come to you, how do you organize your house? Comment below! I would love some input!
