Next Stop: DIY Organization Station
Written by Hannah Strandberg
Staying organized while you’re busy can be a herculean task. I just confronted my desk drawer a few weeks ago. Among my memoirs, I found 67 cents, an empty Junior Mints box and a ticket stub for 2012’s big hit, The Hunger Games.
Creating a DIY organization station doesn’t have to break the bank or monopolize your time. The right system keeps your command central neat and stress-free. And as with anything, weekly touch-ups help your space stay manageable and free of seven-year-old ticket stubs. Here are our favorite picks for your DIY organization station to start your journey.

Pegboard Organizer
Pegboards are wonderful for one word: versatility. They hold baskets, clipboards, folder cubbies and more. Plus, the pre-made holes provide a grid line to keep things straight and even.
Painted Storage Box
This DIY project is both fun and helpful. Who wouldn't want to keep their receipts neat and tidy in one of these beauties? You'll only need four supply pieces to create one of these!
Cork Board Fun

Gift Wrapping Station
Maybe you'd keep this in your office, maybe you'd keep it in the garage. Either way, a centralized station for wrapping paper, scissors and ribbons will make gift wrapping 100% more enjoyable. Plus, it has wheels.
Hanging Cup Organizers
Gather up your extra mugs and put them to use! Great for holding pencils, scissors, and, well, everything, hanging mugs are a chic way to store your supplies. Photo by Gata Gimmick.
Charging Station
Wouldn't it be nice to have one of these for humans? When your family has multiple phones to keep track of, a charging station is the key to success. And it hides all those tangled cords!
Clip-On Artwork
Have an empty spot on your wall? Hang up your child's artwork on a piece of art! Find these handmade boards on Etsy.
Wall Command Center
Keep the family calendar, to-do list and more in one spot. Nothing will be accidentally forgotten with the hallway command center. It's easy to create and looks so polished.
