I am revisiting this post because it is timely with school starting this fall.
I started with this curbed headboard.
I turned it upside down, painted it with chalkboard paint, and added hooks at the bottom.
I added a removable memo board for those all important permission slips and snack notes etc.
Every good back to school organizer needs a place to hold essentials such as pens (for signing notes) and pencils (for those tests) and of course an eraser to keep everything up to date.
Hanging in your mudroom or by your back door this organizer would keep even the busiest family on track!

gail, love what you did with that headboard and thank you for your sweet comment about our dog Clover…
Wow! Great idea for repurposing that headboard. Must train my brain to think outside the box. Thanks! — Cat
I never would have thought of it and I love it!
This really is a great project! I love how you look at an object in a whole new way!
This is a great idea. I have lame, ugly hooks by our back door, this is so much cuter! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow, look at that! It all matches and everything! Fantastic job!
Wow….once again, you prove yourself and the thing you turn out. Love it.
Wow, so clever!!! I have trouble seeing other things in objects like that! I love it!
I really like this; just wish I had a place for it. I see so many of these type headboards for just a few $$$ and wonder what could be done with them. Can always count on you to come up with some great ideas.
This is fabulous, Gail!
Another cool project. You are awesome. Just awesome!
Oh I love this project, you thought of everything! I’m going to have to finally post the one I did for Erin’s seamstress friend. Tho it’s not even close to this caliber.
This is amazingly clever!
I love this idea. I will defiantely be adding something similar to my never ending list. Thanks for sharing. Great idea!
What a great project!! Is that chalk ledge from Scrabble??

I just looked around a bit and am now a follower of your blog. I love all the repurposing!
Wow! I am blown away at how you took a headboard and turned it into an information station! It is gorgeous!
Very cute!
Adorable double adorable. thanks.
Now this is adorable! What creative thinking to turn this upside down. I love it! Gonna look at twin headboards in this style so much more differently now!
I love it! I’m thinking of adding a project like this one to my “Future Projects” list. Thanks for the inspiration.
