2. The chalkboard wall.
If I had to name one idea that's really changed my life day-to-day, it's the chalkboard wall. I don't know the exact year I thought of it, but I do remember being in Lowe's paint aisle and seeing the "chalkboard paint" in a can--and thinking, "could I do a whole wall with that?" Turns out you can. And I have; "It's not home without a chalkboard wall I always say." (I use mine for a family calendar each week, but I LOVE this idea: put it in a bathroom and have people write notes. Get it? That's so awesome.)
