Seems like everyone is in organizing mode in January! Me too! Since we’re planning on moving this year and have lots of things going on, I’ve been thinking of making a Family Command Center so that we all know what’s going on when. If you’re not familiar with the idea of a Family Command Center, it’s basically just a one stop family organization area. Here are a few examples that I find inspiring!

January 9, 2014 at 7:44 pmThese are all great! Since it is just Mr. Comforts and me and we work in our home together, we are pretty much on top of things. But I can see if you had children or crazy work schedules and you were trying to move this would come in handy!

January 9, 2014 at 10:29 pmLots of great ideas. Could have used one years ago, but don’t need one now as my children are grown and dealing with their own hectic schedules. Great ideas and can see how they could easily be created on a small budget.

January 9, 2014 at 11:19 pmThank you for including my Command Center; I’ve since moved and wish I had space for it in my new home. Maybe I can tuck one into a corner like Cassie from Hi Sugarplum did…. I love it!

January 10, 2014 at 6:13 amThese are great! I especially love the one with the large chalkboard. I found an old door and I painted each of the inset panels with chalkboard paint. We use this as our command center. We keep a running grocery list in one panel and a to-do list in another…etc, etc…love it! Thanks for sharing these great ideas and have a great weekend!

January 10, 2014 at 7:48 amOK, do you know how sometimes when you read a post or an idea, your heart sort of starts racing? (Please say yes because I don’t want to feel creepy..) Well, that’s what this post did to me. I didn’t even know I wanted to create a command center. What’s to command? I’m usually the only one here.
And then I saw these spaces and fell in love with them.
I hope it’s OK to pin the whole post as one big resource. I’ll probably go and pin the individual ones as well because I think that’s a good thing to do, but I want the whole heart thumping resource in one pin.
Thanks!!

January 10, 2014 at 2:17 pmLOL! I’ve had that happen numerous times to me. It’s exciting to find a new idea! I personally think “command center” is a funny term – it makes me think of something military. There are all kinds on Pinterest – usually they involve backpacks. 🙂 I just wanted something to organize my family and our projects as we work on house projects and as we have professionals come in to work on projects. Plus I’ll have to have some sort of system for scheduling showings etc. Oh yes, you are always welcome to pin the collage from my blog. For individual photos I prefer people to go to the linked blog to pin (but people rarely do).
