As an update, I found two more sets in the garage. 16!! The slightly humorous thing about this all is that there is absolutely no convenient place to hang our bags when we walk in the house, whether through the garage (which we currently aren’t doing because it is still filled with boxes), or by the front door, which will be the norm for us and our guests.
When you walk into the house, this wall with the mirror on it is slightly to the left, but mostly right in front of you, which seems like the perfect place for some hooks and a sort of entry wall.
Initially I thought, maybe a large painting there. Some pretty flowers. Â But somewhere over the past months, my design aesthetic has tweaked, because something being just pretty no longer does it for me. Especially an entire space, or wall in this case. Â It needs to work for me. Â It has to function.
So while this is really pretty:
It doesn’t really do a thing for me. On the other hand, these entryways are more what we’re looking for when designing that wall:
I just found your blog and realized I just happened to live a couple blocks from your old house in SF. (on 1530 east…saw your house for sale on SF indoor yard sale) I LOVE what you did to your house, we just built so our house is a clean slate! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!!
I like the second one—it’s minimal but has everything you need!
At least they left a drunk octopus hook!
We can completely relate, we have a catch all entry way, that seems to catch everything. I’ve been procrastinating and telling myself its a winter project.
I’ve been struggling with finding a functional and appealing solution to our entry way as well. We don’t have kids, but we need a place to keep shoes and the dog leash/bags so it doesn’t look like a cluttered mess. I love the look of image #1 and #2 above. Also, I saw this on Pinterest this morning and loved it! http://pinterest.com/pin/52495151877904680/
