5 projects to make Back-to-School a breeze

As summer winds down, it’s time to think about getting organized for the upcoming season. With the crisp air and changing of the leaves, families also change how they interact with their homes. Schedules fill up with practices, school projects and games. Avoid the mad dash in the morning by prepping your home for the year’s busiest season. Even if you don’t have kids in the home, here are a few ideas to get organized for fall.

Organize the Mud Room

With backpacks, gym bags, and muddy cleats bound to get thrown around, designate a spot in your home to account for all of the essentials. Install coat hooks, create cubbies and use a bench to take off your shoes – all of these things will help get you out of the house faster each morning.

Create a Central Command Center

Create a zone that keeps the whole family organized from sports calendars, school schedules, and a place to plug in your iPad. The one-stop area will be the go-to for your family when they’re looking for those important documents and dates. Integrating cork boards and cubbies make this an organized catch-all.
