More Favorite Decorative Wall Hooks





Many people I work with rent and worry about spending too much money on setting up their space. Hooks are a perfect example of how to spend money in a rental; not on big pieces of furniture, but rather on smaller things that you can easily take a reuse in your next space (lighting is a another example).

comes in black, white, silver, grey, and red
6 1/4"W x 8"H x 1"D
$40.00 each
would be great in multiples of different colors in a kid's room or a creative studio/office

comes in large size too
2"W x 3"D x 3"H
$33.00 set of 2

17 3/4"W x 4 1/4"H
$60.00 set of 2
installed down the length of a hallway would be fantastic

Favorite Decorative Wall Hooks






A simple way to not only organize your space but also keep it neat and more functional is to install hooks. In your entry or near your front door for those without an entry like me, for coats and bags; in the bathroom for towels and clothes that need to be aired out; in the bedroom; behind doors. You may think you don't need them but once you have them, you'll wish you had more.

Here are a few of my favorite decorative hooks that aren't exactly economical but when a hook is beautiful on it's own why not?

11 1/2"W x 12"H x 8"D
$230.00 each
these look amazing in groups or by itself

40"W x 5"D x 1.5"H
$59.00
love the little slot in the back, perfect for dropping mail, magazines, or baseball caps...

3 1/2" - 6 3/4" Diameter x 1 3/4"D
$149 set of 5

Caribou Wall Hook by Roost
10 1/2"W x 8"H x 5 1/2"D
$48.00

4"W x 4 3/4"D x 3"H
$14.00 each
so cute, great for kid's rooms or a beach house

Few More Kitchen Cabinets







This kitchen is a bit smaller than the one in the previous post and this client doesn't have as many dishes and glasses so instead of having a strictly glass or dishes cabinets, we've combined the two. I used a couple tupperware bowls to keep tea packets neatly and easily at hand.

The cabinet with the alcohol is above the fridge and is for things she doesn't use that often and for excess teas (as you can see, she cannot have enough teas!!).

What I Did Today: Kitchen Cabinets






For the dishes, I've broken up the set placing some low and some higher since she doesn't need them all accessible all the time. The L-shaped cabinet in the last picture, is next to the stove so it's perfect for the oils and spices. One no brainer for kitchen storage is the perfect little turntable (lazy-susans). I use them for oils as well but for this cabinet we didn't need it.

As you'll notice, they're the only 'organizing product' used for these cabinets. You don't always need them...
