I knew the moment I saw this organizer that I had to make one with my toilet boxes (I am still working on the first one, I still have one whole box left to use). It went together really quickly, her template made it sooooooo easy to cut out the pockets, no math or measuring involved!
Wow, that was fast and easy and that’s about when I got lazy. It seems sturdy, it’s double layer cardboard, I bet I don’t need to add a layer of paper mache, I’ll just paint it and it will be fine.
And it is fine, but now that I have it up I realize that I want more pockets, I’m going to need it to stand up to some serious paper/magazine storage. I also need to reinforce it with some paper mache and that will also give me a better base to paint. So I’m calling this one the test organizer, the actual organizer still needs to be made. My command center has gotten totally out of hand and I’m going to need all the extra storage I can get.
I love how the organizer fits perfectly between the door and the corner, yay for using wasted space! You should see all the stuff that is now stored under that very cluttered table. I’m definitely doing a before and after shot of this one. I’ve lived with my original solution long enough and now that I know what I need and what isn’t working I can adjust it to be more functional.
How do you keep your command center organized? Everything just seems to pile up here I feel like I am constantly de-cluttering.
BTW, I completely forgot that yesterday was Monday (duh), sorry I'm a day late :)

What's a toilet box?
PD
We bought two new toilets with our tax refund and they came in large, really nice double thick cardboard boxes and I'm using them to make all sorts of fun stuff (check out my Andy Warhol inspired art) and it makes me giggle that I'm making stuff from toilet boxes ;D
Oh I see. That makes sense. I thought it was something I had never heard of before.
PD
