Functional Decor
In our busy family of 5, a command center is a must.
So, when we updated the kitchen I decided to paint one side of the floor to ceiling cabinets with chalkboard paint. Then, I used a chalkboard marker and measured out a calendar grid.
And recently, I stumbled upon this fantastic galvanized metal file holder:
Which now holds chalk, towels, paintbrushes, pencils, paperwork and other necessities. It fits perfectly under the calendar, and flush to the wall, as if it were a match made in décor heaven.
Not only do I love the way a huge chalkboard looks in a kitchen, but it’s really come in handy. Football games, doctor appointments, school meetings and the like are all catalogued here- keeping this busy momma right in check.
A perfect addition to our farmhouse-style kitchen 🙂

Hi Kate! 🙂
I love your calendar chalk wall…I wish I had a wall to do this on – maybe next house! 😉
I love the galvanized organizers you found too, they fit in perfectly with your farmhouse décor. I know I have said this before, but your kitchen is beautiful, the barn doors are so gorgeous!

Hi Kimberley!
Thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 The barn door is my favorite element in the room too, beautiful and comes with a story…. the best kind of décor if you ask me. Hope you’re having a great week, thank you for stopping by friend!
