After writing about my kids’ cool Ikea craft table the other day, I found myself shopping there unexpectedly. Naturally, that meant I took the chance to create some more storage solutions.
Our garage opens into our house via a narrow hallway. It’s the place where shoes get taken off and school bags get dumped. Now it will be the place where hats and scarves can be hung up, thanks to these nifty hooks.
I have shamelessly stolen this idea from B, my clever friend who writes at B Being Cool. I’ve even bought the same Ikea hooks that she has. She assures me that her kids have never bumped their heads on them as I had pictured mine might so hopefully mine too will avoid head injuries that CraftyDaddy would then have to roll his eyes about!
The red scarf is the one I started in this post. I’ve been wearing it A LOT so naturally it was the first thing to hang on the hooks.

Saw your post on facebook update, popping by to say hi, glad I saw this post as you gave a link to another blogger who I am now following. On bbeingcool she had some great photos of girl pirates which I have been looking for, I even wrote a post this week asking for links and photos of girl pirates – such a co-incidence – So THANKS xx Karima from
Glad you liked it, Karima. She does have a cute pirate girl!
I made my own hooks a few days ago, for our bedroom wall, and it really saves some floor space. I am Swedish but live in California, USA, and it is just funny that all around the world people are shopping at Ikea! I’ve grown up with it and still shops there. Your hooks look great, and so does the scarf.
Thanks for stopping by, Isabell. How does California compare to Sweden? A bit different, I would imagine!
That is just what I need to tidy up the pile of hoodies and jackets in my entrance hall that is driving me nuts. I’m not sure my hubby is going to let me go to IKEA though – I always come back with way more than I planned.
My husband just doesn’t like putting together the stuff I come home with. He really, really doesn’t like it! But he always helps me anyway – what a great guy!
I try to do it myself, but always seem to get stuck and need my husband for some brute force. I’m sure it shouldn’t be like that, but it always happens! It’s nice to have helpful husbands around!
So cute. Love the hooks. Following you from MMM. Would love to have you link this up to my {wow me} wednesday link up party going on over on my blog right now. The most viewed link will win a set of fancy rectangle chalkboard labels. This week I’m co-hosting with Reasons to Skip the Housework…so links will show up on both blogs! How fun!

Thanks Ginger Snaps. I’ll pop over for a visit soon
Hooray for corralling clutter. I hope the hooks work great for you.
Thanks for popping by, Chris. The hooks are working just great. Hopefully that will continue after the novelty factor wears off!
