If you are one of my Instagram friends you saw this pile o’ goodies the other day….
My office/guest room has been in various stages and lately it is getting closer and closer to being done.
I really wanted some place to have visible lists, ones that I can reference each day. I loved the idea of using simple clip boards but I wanted to jazz them up a bit.
I bought some fun supplies at Target and came home to let the creative juices flow.
Here is what I came up with…
I took the file bands and just wrapped the clipboards.
I know. Really ground breaking stuff.
I did also use those pants hangers and the White Out but I’ll share that another day.
Don’t want to blow your mind too much in one post.
They are hanging right over the cabinet that houses our printer and filing system.
The white file boxes are from IKEA and I stash all of our office-related stuff, receipts, printer paper, etc. in them. I got the pink boxes at Michael’s and I labeled one for each kid That’s where I stick keepsake things as they come home from school or the doctor. I have a bag for each kid in my closet for the things I am going to keep long-term so I just do sorting from the boxes to the bags about once a year.
Like I said, I am going to be using these clipboards for lists but, for right now, I just styled them more as inspiration/keepsake boards.
This quick and easy project has really spruced up this corner of the office
and is going to help me stay on track hopefully!
It is also going to be easy to change my “designs” on a whim since all I have to do is slide the bands into different spots. Love a good functional DIY!

They are on the aisle with the tape. I am sure there are tons of other uses for them!
