Dear Diary

After a long hot summer, the kiddos are finally back to school, and while YOU may be more than ready… Is your house ready? Getting organized is key to a successful school year, and it’s never too late to get your home ready.

Here are our easy steps to acing the school year.

It all starts with having an A+ entryway. We love adding a chic rattan hat rack or hall tree to make entryways more functional. This piece gets high marks for style and it’s sturdy enough for hanging backpacks, sporting gear, and lunch boxes.

Once the backpacks are stashed away, it’s time to score some major bonus points with an epic snack station. This faux bamboo server works great as a self-serve snack bar. Fill the drawers with goodies, load the cabinets with bottled drinks, and display a pretty fruit bowl on the roomy surface. Bring this piece to the top of the class by having it refinished in a fun color!

Homework can be fun too, so don’t fail to set up an epic study zone. This faux bamboo desk is a great start. This desk will stand the test of time because it’s well made and classic. Have it painted a crisp white or any color that will motivate your little scholar.

And don’t forget to earn extra credit by adding a cute and comfy chair.
