Canvas Chalkboard and Seagrass Basket Organizer

We don't have much space in our tiny apartment so I thought this idea might help in keeping pens, paper and other junk from collecting on our "already limited" counterspace. 


It was simple and cheap to put together and the pictures are pretty self-explanatory.   I bought the canvas from Michaels for $24.00.  It measures 30" x 48".  I wanted a large canvas to cover all of the existing holes left by the former tenant.  I bought the cafe rod from Walmart for $10.00 together with the curtain rings. 


And, I found the seagrass baskets at London Drugs...regularly 5.99 each - on for .99.  I had the chalkboard paint.

 
To give the chalkboard a bit more interest (for the pictures) I re-created this design from a similar picture on the internet.  As you can see, I simply free-handed the artwork/lettering so don't judge my artistic abilities.
 
 
 
 
Thank you for stopping by...have a great week!

    I could never write on my chalkboard with such flare. This is amazing. And the curtain-rod with baskets is the perfect addition. LOVE it!
