Hey, friends! It has been Command Center Week here at Just a Girl and Her Blog! On Monday I shared how I gave our old entry desk its third makeover with a new coat of paint and some pretty knobs. On Tuesday I revealed our whole organizational system and talked about eight essential elements that were absolutely crucial to our command center. After getting a lot of questions about different items that I used, I decided to share today’s post about our sources for everything! Here we go!

I don’t have to be afraid about missing special events or important dates and the Cs have everything they need to be successful at school. Win! I hope you’ve enjoyed Command Center Week!

September 12, 2014 at 2:54 pmI love the cuteness of your command center… we have a command center of sorts, but we purposefully made it inside a big cabinet so we can close the doors and hide it from the world.
It makes me want to think about ideas for adding a little excited 🙂

September 16, 2014 at 1:55 pmThis whole space is fabulous – it looks great and is so so practical. Hurray! I’ve been racking my brain about what we need for a “command center” at the barn. You are inspiring me.

September 27, 2014 at 1:35 pmThis is SO CUTE! Thank you for breaking this down! After seeing it in your Fall Home Tour I had to come see how you put it all together. We are in serious need of a “command center” and now I have the perfect inspiration for it! Haha thank you for sharing all of this! I’m off to throw my money at Michael’s now 😉

April 10, 2017 at 3:29 pmI see I’m a little late to the party! I just found this (4/10/17), and some of the links don’t work anymore. SAD FACE!! I LOVE the simplicity and this is actually a command center I would use! Is this system still working for you? Anything new or updated? Thank you!

April 12, 2017 at 9:05 amHi, Kimberly! We actually don’t live in this house anymore, so aren’t using this exact system currently. I would guess there are probably similar pieces available on Amazon if the originals are no longer sold. So sorry about that!
