I’ll put a source list at the bottom of this post with what we used and similar sources! We don’t have a lot of room and our budget for completing this project was probably less than $30, so we had to get creative and use what we already had. (This cabinet is out of stock, but this one is similar and I’ll link to others at the end of the post!). So I decided to reinvent this cabinet and give it a new purpose as our command central. Early on I realized we didn’t have a good “spot” for “those things” that you need to keep track of in a busy household. When we moved to this house, the cabinet ended up in our little entry. So handy and fun to have a spot for table setting. We used it as a hospitality cabinet! It’s where we kept things like our cloth napkins and napkin rings, dinner candles, serving utensils and special glasses. In our old house, this cabinet was in our dining room. You may remember seeing this cabinet in my books ( Simple Organizing), or in our last house, too, when it had an entirely different purpose. Since the task of decluttering or organization itself isn’t a big passion of mine, I guess thinking in terms of a creating a specific “destination” for things I like to do in my home is more inspiring to me. I’m a big fan of creating “destinations” or designated “stations” for organization! Coffee stations, gift wrap stations, mail stations, family command centers, I enjoy them all. I’m not obsessive about detailed organization, but I definitely feel more at peace when I have a few simple systems I can rely on. Simplifying, editing and staying organized has to be a daily task. Life around my house gets a little hectic sometimes. We’ve even repurposed it a couple of times to suit our needs in two different homes! Today I’ll share how we set this cabinet up as our home command center. “(Domitrz) is very comfortable on stage and the way he presents the topic – you can tell he’s genuine.You might remember seeing this cabinet in our home over the years. Jose Gutierrez, a Soldier from the 102nd Training Command, who attended the presentation. “It’s a difficult subject, but one that needs to be discussed,” said Spc. Domitrz’ presentation honed in on sexual consent. It followed a presentation at the post theater, April 12, by Mike Domitrz, author and founder of The Center for Respect. The Escape Room was offered as part of the post’s observance of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. “It was challenging and we learned a lot about what someone could do – what we could do – in a real-life situation,” said Quero. In fact, each clue afforded him an opportunity to begin a discussion about what can been done under real-life circumstances to prevent sexual assault. “This makes me want to pay more attention to what’s going on with other people.”īutler said that the Escape Room is intended to show the importance of bystander intervention. Eduardo Quero, from the 80th Training Command, who after participating in the event with other members of his unit reflected on every-day, casual encounters with others. “You never know what’s going on with people,” said Spc. In this case, however, participants were led to the victim’s suicide. From there, each clue led to the next, like a treasure hunt. Upon entry, participants were provided with an initial clue. The facility featured a home setting, with bedrooms and a working kitchen, along with rooms that represented a Post Exchange, with refrigerated display cases, and a night club with music and strobe lights. Groups of visitors found clues while winding through a maze of rooms, each supporting a particular theme. “This was all about living after sexual assault.” 1st Class Eric Butler, the post’s sexual assault response coordinator and organizer of the event. “The goal was for participants to follow the story and to see how intervention could have changed the outcome,” said Sgt. The program was hosted by the post’s Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program, otherwise known as “SHARP.” It presented true-to-life settings in which volunteer participants were required to solve clues that revealed the events, thought processes, and the ultimate outcome for an imaginary sexual assault victim. Soldiers and civilians at Fort Hunter Liggett discovered how they might intervene to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault after embarking on a journey through an elaborate, interactive setting, called the “Escape Room,” April 20, 2022.
