Hi! I’m Sara from applestone drive and I’m so excited to be a part of this Back to School series. Like Meredith, I am also a former teacher, and this is one of my favorite times of year.
I painted the inside of the closet a light gray and then chalkboard paint above the hooks!
It’s great for those daily reminders!
On the floor I added a cubby shelf turned sideways for shoes. I got those fun blue bins on clearance at Target for $2.50 each!
It’s perfect since I have three kids.
Each one has their own bin for school appropriate shoes.
I added scrapbook paper to the front along with each child’s initial so they can take ownership of their stuff!
So that is the official tour of our backpack station!
I hope you’ll come by and visit more of my home on applestone drive!
You can also follow along on Facebook or Pinterest!
Thanks, Meredith, for hosting me today!



Great way to organize … and love the colors too!
Thanks, Kara!
Organizing our coat closet is on my to-do list. Lots of inspiration here. Can you tell me where you got your wall pockets, Sara?
Thanks so much! I got them at Office Max but you can find similar ones at any office store or Walmart, Target, etc. 🙂
Such a cute idea! I wish I was still in school so I could have this backpack station haha!
I know what you mean! I just love this idea…it’s so organized! 🙂
Sara – those are fantastic! Love the color you chose! And those homework shelves are a great idea too!
Thanks so much, Jill!
I am not able to view the pictures. I would love to do something similar in my home as well. Thanks

I think the person that guest posted for me had the photos stored on her blog and has since quit blogging. I’m sorry!!
