| One of the things, I miss about my other house--- coat closet.. My other one , was small.. But, it held our winter coats, and several pairs of shoes, gloves, hats,etc. SO..... I found a little solution. Behind the front door, I hung two coat hooks. I found a small closet shelf at Lowes. It fit exactly in the small spot. I added some red baskets in the shelves. This will hold the gloves/hats,etc. And we each have a place to hang one jacket. We have a place to for each of us to put one pair of shoes.. I also have a place to put my purse. Works great.. |
 |
| The front door stays open all day , every day. So most of the time, it won't be seen. smile. I have several rods in the bedroom closet, and one was reserved for coats. Even though we had this coat rack, I wanted something for our every day jacket.. To throw on and off quickly.. so. I am happy with my make shift coat closet!! |

| Apple pie for Hubby... since he offered to make a coat closet in the living room.. I declined his sweet offer, The living room is so small, we need every inch of space we have. |
Love your solution and I bet he loved your apple pie! We do have a coat closet but you know it seems our favorite place to put the coats are on the backs of chairs! Every once in a while I get busy and hang them back up. Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vickie. Kenny loved the pie [it is almost gone.. Granddaughter came yesterday and she loved it too.ha]
DeleteWhen the kids come, they put the coats on the chairs too. Hope you have a good night too.
How clever, Judy! Nice that you didn't have to give up any space in your living room. And, it's a super neat solution!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn. It works... and I definitely didnt want to give up space for a closet. Have a great weekend,.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very clever solution! Amazing how well everything fits in the space, too! Yum! Apple pie! Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bless. I watched every store I went to, trying to find a shelf unit small enough to fit that little wall. Was happy when I finally found it.
DeletePie was good.. It is all gone now.ha
Oh I love hearing about this stuff! I adore canny storage solutions and you are coming up with some doozies :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Maryanne, I am keeping on trying to find little spots in this little house.ha
DeleteWhat an excellent solution -you are finding all sorts of creative ways to make your small cottage a larger place. And nice and neat as well, so when the door is closed, the area still looks good.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah Liz, I keep trying to use every bit of space, with out cluttering it up.
DeleteJudy. What a perfect solution!! One hook and one bin each. What more do we need?! D.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deedy.. You are right..... Fair as I can be.. one a piece. ha
DeleteHow sweet to make your husband a pie even though you didn't take him up on his offer. And I love your solution! It is so bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dianna. It works.. So that makes me happy.ha And Hubby loved the pie.
DeleteGood for you! I love it when I find something that works with my small house.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I know... Doesn't it feel good?
Deletebty... our house looks just alike on the outside..Or the photos do.ha
Hi Judy, your creativity definitely allowed you to solve a problem. Our house is old so we have had to be creative also (at least in our planning as we still have to action many of these ideas lol). I've been thinking about a rack with some hooks for my husband's jackets as they often get left on the back of the kitchen chairs. That makes me a little crazy lol.
ReplyDeleteThe hooks sound like a good idea.. I just hate coats/purses/shoes throwed on the chairs/floor. I always dread winter , because of this.ha
DeleteMy hubby's outlook on this is , 'Well Judy, I am fixing to put it back on". well this will probably be the next day, when he puts it back on.lol
Dear friend! I love your little coat closet! It is perfect! And, I SO appreciated your dear, sweet comment left on my blog today. Oh, it was such a dear blessing to me! Thank you for your faithful heart, support, and prayers. I tried to follow your blog, but for some reason it is telling me I do not have permission to follow it? It is probably something wacky with our computer. I will try again! God bless you abundantly for your encouragement to me today...I was in tears reading it, because only He knows how much I needed it. Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. the fake closet is working..smile.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome.. I am proud I posted when I did.. God is good, He knows what we need , when we need it. It is such an important decision in our lives at this point.. Did you ever think , we would live to see these things happening? So sad. Praying for God to be with us.
Ps. not sure about the following blog thing?? Maybe it will fix it self ??? I am computer dumb , for sure.ha
Hugs
