Kitchen Wall Command Centers for Families!

This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum. All opinions are 100% mine.

Every home in America needs one of these wall organizer kitchen command centers. I believe that 100%. After a few years of thought, I finally decided to put my ideas to work and to make the perfect wall organization system in all the land. The best part!?! The frames are all interchangeable!

You might be thinking, um…..”What does that even mean!?!” Don’t stress, I promise it’s a big deal, and I will show you exactly what that means. 

Check out this DIY Kitchen Command Center with sliding Interchangeable frames!

Let this video illustrate the magic:

Think of all of the possibilities!!! You can switch out monthly calendars! Print out your favorite printable for the season, display kids’ wall art projects, make lists. Heck, you can even use one of the frames for saving important papers! 
Wall Organization System for every family!

 

I will be posting the instructions soon, but the entire project was painted and stained with my trusty Rustoleum products. Since I know I will get questions about what colors I used exactly, I will lay it all out there for you below:

Chalk SPRAY PAINT!?! SAY WHAAAA?

The frames are Chalked spray paint in Coastal Blue. If you haven’t used Chalked spray paint yet, you are missing out! It’s SPRAY PAINT BUT IT’S SANDABLE! Yep, it’s just like other brands of chalk paint, but you can spray it on instead of brushing it. It’s a huge timesaver. Then I sealed it with Clear Chalked Matte Topcoat. My favorite thing in the world because I’m not a fan of wax.  I actually wrote a post specifically about the protective topcoat. 

This brand of stain is my fave.

I use Varathane stains all of the time because they are such great products. See how they say “3X” on the packages above? Did you know that in order for them to be able to print that on the label, they have to be able to prove that statement!?! Basically they work 3 times faster than any direct competing product! Plus for me, it saves me time, so that’s a win! The outside frame is Kona Stain, and the background stain color is called Sunbleached, which is seriously my favorite. It’s gray, but it’s not too dark or too cool. It’s a tad warm, and I love it! I sealed the stain with my favorite sealer called “triple thick” because it goes on like 3 coats of all other brands. It’s a timesaver, and it works great! I used Satin sheen for this project!

I painted the pencil boxes with Chalked Spray Paint in Blush, and the shelf is also a Chalked Spray Paint color called Serenity blue {see pictures above}.  I also painted pieces of backer board with chalkboard paint and dry erase paint too.  

Kitchen Command Centers can make your life so much more organized!

Since I’m selling my house, I asked my friend Jo if she would take care of my kitchen command center until I move, and she was nice enough to let me take pictures of it in her cute house!

The calendar was an etsy find, and the cute gold and white folders are from target, along with the plant and clock. 

Sliding Interchangeable frames!

The colorful artwork is from Jenny’s print shop, and I want to die I love it so much. HAHA. 

Sliding Interchangeable Frames to Organize LIFE!

All of the wood was purchased at The Home Depot, and I built almost all of it by myself. I had Dan’s help on a few things, but I’m tellin’ ya, this project was at least 90% built by me, myself, and I. 

Organize LIFE!

I love that displaying kids’ art can now be done in a classy intentional way too!

I hope you like it! Stay tuned for the tutorial coming in the next day or so!

  1. What are the measurements for the whole piece? Trying to figure out if something like this would work in my space.
