Glam Small Space Command Center
Saturday, September 22, 2018
San Francisco living is quite minuscule, so it was no surprise that my new condo barely came with an entry way. Across from my make-shift coat closet/linen closet/pantry (umm yeahhhhh, all 3 of these storage spaces have been combined into the 1 closet between my entryway and kitchen. I def wasn't joking about minuscule!) there is a slim vertical wall that I could creatively play with. "Ughhh, but where do I start?!?!" I frustratingly thought to myself. So, I did what any internet-savvy, yet, design-challenged woman would do....hit up Pinterest duhhhhh. As a first-time homeowner the app has been LIFE and my go-to for all DIY ideas! Seriously though, I don’t ever want to live in, or imagine a world, without Pinterest lol. When searching for what to do with my tiny wall entryway, I came across sooooo many amazing ideas, but one really stuck out for me: The family command center. They are all the rage in the modern home right now, and are a Type-A/OCD organized human's dream. I did notice however, there was not one command center that fit into my modern/glam home. Almost all the ideas offered online had more of a farmhouse/rustic vibe, and not quite enough glam. Then the ah-hah-light-bulb moment struck me like, boom! (Insert thought bubble here) "Since a glam family command center doesn’t exist online, then maybe I should create one!" I stuck with my favorite classic color combo of black, white, and gold, and went to work (actually, more like went shoppin' hehe). I'm a visually organized person, so I had to bring my vision to life after making my purchases. I created my command center when Polyvore was around a few months ago (#BringBackPolyvore - Don't even get me started on that topic smh), then measured their accurate spacing on my tiny wall until I was finally ready to start hanging up all the items! The only DIY-ing I did was paint the silver hooks on the key-holder gold, since I couldn't find a black and gold one I liked anywhere. Other than that, all the items I found were ready to be hung, and each cost under $20 - come up!! You can see my process, and item details all below. Thanks for reading, enjoy loves!
