My Decorating Dilemma Solution — Desk Area Makeover

header+pic[1]

 I participated in Amanda @ Serenity Now's Decorating Dilemma party a couple of months ago. I shared a terrible eyesore in my kitchen. My kitchen desk which is a haven for everything that comes in the house. My kids love to dump their papers, food, shoes, and whatever else they can find on that space.

Do your kids come home from school and throw their backpacks, boots and coats everywhere? This was my problem for the past 6 years. I had hooks in my long, skinny laundry room but I was always climbing over everyone's backpacks and boots to do my laundry.

I know I started to make Fridays into Creative Fridays. Well since my kids started school this week, we've been trying to get our schedules together so I haven't been doing too much creative this week. But, this is kind of a creative project...
