Industrial Farmhouse Command Center

Cleaning + Organization· DIY Projects

30 Jan

Having a spot for us to keep everything has become more apparently needed over the past several months. I found that I would try to put away things in the kitchen, but then I’d forget where I put this one piece of paper or that really important piece of mail.

After an incident with the roof insurance check, I started just stacking things in piles. That way, I wouldn’t need to worry about misplacing anything.

While this method is great for peace keeping [no more scrambling when Brett asks me where something is], it’s not so great for organization and the endless battle of “let’s try to keep the kitchen counters clutter-free.”

Thus, the appeal of a command center was born. And not just any one, but a fun, industrial farmhouse command center that fits in with the style of the rest of the house.

I wanted a spot to have a calendar, menu planner, mail holder and a place to put all the important, random papers that seem to multiple overnight.

How to Create an Industrial Farmhouse Command Center

Organizing the Mail

I found this galvanized envelope holder at Target that we use for our checkbooks, outgoing mail, VIP mail and stamps.

The red chicken wire holder we’ve had for a few years, but I found a similar one here. This baby houses all the coupons and other miscellaneous shopping-related papers.

The two cork boards are also from Target. They have stickies on the back to secure them to wall – super easy to put up and they stick really well.

Organizing the Schedule

The chalkboard menu was created from a frame found at Goodwill using chalk spray paint and chalkboard paint. If you’re not wanting to DIY, I found this one on Amazon.

The giant white board calendar I also picked up at Goodwill, but it is this one from Target.

The black metal containers on wood was made by nailing three metal containers to a stained piece of wood. It’s great for storing things like dry erase markers, washi tape and pieces of chalk.

While this still doesn’t feel exactly finished, it’s is a great start to managing the clutter and keeping those important papers in one spot.

All our best,

    I love your family command center. It looks so rustic and cute. My favorite is the rustic container/wood board. It looks so great and sounds easy to make. Thanks for sharing your great command center!
