The Hook Up

In order to start 2014 off a little more organized, Chuck and I decided to do a small project in the breakfast room, just inside our back door. You see, this spot is the drop-zone. I'm not talking about cell phone coverage, I am talking about the place where all the "stuff" gets dropped. Usually, we drop the diaper bag, extra toys from the car, shoes that fell off Wrenly's feet, coats, purses, computer bags, you name it. So we needed a few wall hooks. There are some seriously cute wall hooks out and about these days! A couple Christmas's ago, I saw on Dear Genevieve, on HGTV, where Genevieve's team hung all sorts of mix-matched hooks in a somewhat random pattern on a small piece of wall that wasn't serving any other purpose. So, having loved that idea, we did the same. There's a small wall in our breakfast room, right where we stash our high chair, that had nothing on it, and is conveniently not visible from the kitchen or living area, so we felt this would be the perfect place for some organization, via the wall hooks.

I went to good ol' Hobby Lobby and found our five hooks, which we scored on sale for half price. I like the idea of having them all "go" together but not being too matchy-matchy. Plus, when they are a little random, it will be easy and fun to add to the collection as time goes on. So far we love it and it's working out great! Make sure if you are going to hang heavy bags or other items, to have 'anchors' put in the wall beforehand, then use the appropriate size screws.
