I am so unorganized when it comes to cleaning our house. Yesterday, I got together with a good friend of mine, Stephanie, to create a "chore chart" in hopes of keeping track of what we wanted clean each week. My goal is for Christopher and I to spend 10 or 15 minutes each day so we don't have to spend an entire Saturday morning cleaning the house. We will see how long this lasts.
We recently discovered that our kitchen door leading to the garage is magnetic. Actually, Ashlyn discovered it when she started sticking magnets on it. So I decided to use it as my "chore door."
I painted it black using an interior satin paint that we had in the garage. Painting it black has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than I thought it would look cooler than the plain white door. I used scrapbook paper to make little flags with the days of the week on them.
The chores are on little magnets that Stephanie and I made - I can just stick them on the day of the week that I want to complete them.
So that's my little arts and crafts project for the week. I probably could have had the house cleaned in the time it took us to make the little magnets.
But that wouldn't have been any fun, right?

Genius Anne! When you painted your door, did you take it off the hinges? Did you take off the hardware - handle??

You are the only person I know that would paint their door for their chore chart...I absolutely LOVE you! ...It's a really cute chart...btw...you might need to explain how you made those magnets, cuz they are awesome!
Cute idea. I would probably end up putting off the chores and have the magnets jammed on one day end of week. I'm a procrastinator like that.
Love the idea.
I would love to use this idea as a job chart in my classroom someday when I go back! Thanks! Very cute!
This is too cute. Way more fun than my stuffy old chart!
This is adorable. What a clever way to make something cute and functional.
Very cute DIY. I love it... and it makes chores seem that much better :)
Adorable! Great idea. Hope you stick to it and even if you don't I think it's OK, you now have a new look for the door ;)
So I need one of these...how do I get you to send me one? :o)
Love this idea soooo much! Too bad the only door that's magnetic is our front door but I'm trying to think of other places to put something like this! Maybe just the fridge?
