PROJECT
Create a one-stop bulletin board—a store-bought cork board painted to complement the wall and outfitted with DIY details—to simplify the morning scramble.
1. Add a ledge (a strip of wood painted and mounted inside the board’s frame) and curtain rod to corral the mail within plain sight—so nothing is forgotten.
2. Screw cup hooks into the ledge for keys; manila tags from an office supply store will help you keep track of whose keys are whose.
3. Tack invitations, lunch menus, and a monthly calendar—for at-a-glance reminders of appointments and events—to the board.
