DIY Magnet Board in case you (misplace) the baseball tryout sign up

Spring Has Sprung...
For me, that means fun projects...
For hubby that means "more projects and more work!"!

But Last year...
He had a great solution for a problem we had!

Come along & check it out!

I need a solution for a recent problem I had.
No room for important notes/events.
Can you relate?

Do you ever run out of room to hang important notes & events?

Do you lack space to hang that beautiful artwork your child brought home from school?

Do you ever misplace the "baseball tryout form"...Oopsie that was me!

Well,

I think I may have a solution!

I wanted to share with you our most recent home project.
 An affordable

 & 

easy
 Do-it-yourself Magnet Board Project!

My husband may not agree with you on the "easy", but watching him it appeared easy.

Here are the Steps for a Perfect DIY Magnet Board

 Step 1: Find the Perfect Space
You need to find a place that has some room.
Remember, you can make this as big or small as you want.

 We used out back entry,
 it is hidden and usually the "dump zone" when we get home.

Step 2: Gather supplies

*24 gauge galvanized steel
My husband has this at his shop & cut it for me!
If you are interested in a piece you can message me!
Or..
I'm sure our local home improvement stores carry it.

*trim pieces
(we used pre-painted white trim)

*Nails

 Step 3: Put it together

My "dear hubby" after no fighting

Kindly
~nailed the galvanized steel on our wall

~Measured the trim to fit & cut

~Nailed trim to wall

(That's what I saw anyways...#haha)

Step 4: Hang Magnets

Find Your favorite magnets & important notes..
and

you are all set my friends!

A fun, easy, & affordable DIY magnet board!!
I better stop saying easy!

Getting Organized...A new school year is a second chance at that New Year's Resolution!

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by Altobelli Peterson Constructions Blog Page.

The School Year is Back on!

With that..

It is time to get organized!!

Ya Right, who am I kidding?

That was my New Years Resolution

& I am still struggling a bit!

A new school year to me..

is kind of like a New Years Resolution gone bad!

It's your Second Chance to Make it all Right again!

BUT, I AM BEING OPTIMISTIC this time...

I have made a little progress so far...

It still needs a lot of help...

but,

It is my start!

My own little organization station..

Each child has a magnet that holds important papers & Schedules!

I want to add a Sign above the Wipe Board with Our Name

Or a funny saying!

Below I found a very inspiring organization station.

Love the clock and the adorable his/her baskets!

Each persons needs are different!

I love how you can personalize them to meet Your Needs...

There is something very peaceful about being organized.

A sense of calm that takes over me when things are put away!

A couple things I have done is to:

1. GET RID OF EXCESS JUNK in MY HOUSE..

(we don't need a hundred of everything)

A couple pens, pencils, tapes, crayons, etc. are nice!

I don't need a whole draw full!

2.  GET RID OF MAIL RIGHT AWAY..

(nothing irritates me more than piles and piles of junk mail & magazines)

I try to get rid of it as fast as I get it.

3. DONATE CLOTHES THAT DON'T FIT ANYMORE!

(I have found that too many clothes just adds stress to my life)

I keep what fits & what they wear!

My children also have an easier time picking out what to wear, because everything in their closet fits and they like it!

Their is Simplicity in being Minimal

and

I have learned that it is bringing a Real Calming Sense to my

Otherwise Chaotic Life of

4 kiddos!!

Happy Organizing From Altobelli Peterson Construction!

Don't forget to fit us Into Your Schedule!
