Innovative and Downright BRILLIANT

I came across one of the neatest ideas for reminders, calendars, schedules, artwalls, easy to setup and easy to change, easy to move and easy to get rid of. It is chalkboard paint that you can make yourself or buy. It can be used for the classroom, artroom, kitchen, closet door, bathroom wall..essentially anywhere you can think of as a mobile message board. This creative idea has so many more uses than 'face front children' and the uses are boundless.

Kick-Off

De-cluttering kid-spaces so that teachers can teach, children can learn, and parents can breathe a sigh of relief.

Our Mission and Goal: To create sensible and organized spaces for teachers, children, and parents. We want to put resources, products, and ideas at your fingertips to provide easy design solutions for all your kid-spaces.

*Art spaces
*Work spaces
*Group workspaces
*Classroom spaces
*Closet spaces
*Outdoor spaces
*Bedroom spaces

"Where in the world do I put this?" 
"My file drawer wont even open any more."
"There's got to be a better way to use this space."
We want to provide solutions to these and other organization challenges. We know that not everyone is wired like we are - to spend hours rearranging the furniture in the living room just for fun - and yet everyone works and lives better in clean and organized spaces. We know too that most of us have become to blessed busy to get things in order the way we would like. Hopefully, you will find this blog helpful with tips and ideas to quickly turn a crammed-to-the-brim closet into a useful storage space, or an underutilized corner of a classroom into a thriving learning environment. Kids learn in all spaces, from the classroom, to their bedrooms, to the backyard, so we hope to have ideas for de-cluttering them all.  Like most helpful blogs we will include budgets, tips, FAQs, a photo gallery (dos and don'ts), organizing ideas, and products to achieve your goals.


We will be blogging, hopefully daily.
More ideas to come!
