Especially if you have no fridge on which to hang everything. Though the chicken wire display frame I made back in December ended this battle in the kitchen, I’m now noticing the paper clutter problem in my son’s room. It seems I’m constantly trying to solve this first-world problem of mine.

With the hope of ending this once and for all, I came up with yet another way to display papers and store art supplies. Check out my latest organizational solution–a tough-looking magnetic pegboard— I shared over at My Crafty Spot. It’s cute, it’s functional, and it’s such a hit that my other two have requested one for their rooms.
