As the weather got cooler and jackets started coming out of storage, I came up with the bright idea to build a coat hook system to manage all the coats/sweatshirts/jackets/raincoats/hats/mittens etc for the two girls.

Originally I just wanted to take two blocks of wood (one for each girl) and screw a few hooks in it and install a shelf above that. It morphed into a bigger, more decorative project after Jim cut fancy wood bases for the racks and grandma contributed decorations.

Brielle decorated her own and I worked on Bianca’s. Bianca’s looks much more bland because I was trying to leave room at the bottom for hooks. Brielle didn’t care and decorated with abandon.

In the end we decided they were too pretty to cover with coats and we will probably hang them in Brielle’s room or near the front door. Now of course I still don’t know how to keep all their winter gear straight.

Tomorrow….what we did with the leftover decorations.
