Whether you are living by yourself, with roommates or with your family, you need a system to keep reminder notes, to-do lists, store papers, plan your calendar and even display photos.
Depending on your need, it can take the form of a simple memo board up to an elaborate organization system.
Eva Solo designed a memo board that integrates a pad and a big rubber pen. Remove it from the wall to write notes and grocery lists.

Go green with a pulp bulletin board
where you can slot in pictures and notes and pin the most important
notes to the board. Adin Mumma stacked reprocessed paper sheets to
create for Umbra a truly unique message board.
For a fresh natural appeal, opt for a walnut magnetic board that uses five magnetic twigs to hold your reminder notes and messages.

Great for kids and adults, Minz and Bettina are two Pups characters available as blackboards by Pupsit. The tiny plush toy acts as the eraser and chalk holder.
To address the need of the active family, the Daily System at Pottery Barn
lets you organize and select the components that fit your space. The
12-component system even includes a recharging station for your cell
phones, mp3 players and other small electronic devices with tag names.
