FRONT HALL RENO - PART 2

My parents were visiting for the last few weeks and my dad helped out with the front hall he finished the painting and hung up some of the hooks.  Now I need to set up some sort of organization for shoes, hats and gloves.  I need up painting twice the first yellow we selected turned out to be a fit too florescent; I am really happy we took the time to re-paint.

For the shoe organizing I have a design in mind that I want to have custom built for the space.  If you know any good carpenters in Toronto please do share their info with me.

I also wanted to take tho moment to share a picture of one of the many details from our house that made us fall in love with it when we first saw it.

The above is a picture of the stained glass window that is in our front hall.  We have another one that matches in the staircase and I am pretty certain that once upon a time their would have been one also in the top half of the front window of the house.  One day we will change the front window and have an artist recreate a matching stained glass window for us.

FRONT HALL RENO - PART 1

One of the downsides of the new house is that well the previous owners were supposed to have left the front hall wall hooks there but they took them. Since the hooks were pretty ugly in our book we did not make a big fuss about it; however this did mean we needed to buy some wall hooks and pain the front hall.  Since we have moved in we have been tossing our coats on the staircase railing.

Eames Hang It All

We decided to buy the Eames Hang It All.  I have wanted these for as long as I can remember.  We go them from Gabriel Ross as they were having a sale around Christmas at the price they could offer me was actually better then ordering it straight from Herman Miller.  We received them about a month ago and they have been sitting in a box until we could select a wall colour and paint.  PS I opened the box and yes I love them :-)

I also pre ordered 3 FRANK hooks.  These are a Kick Starter project; for those of you who are new to kick starter it basically a way for people to get funding for their ideas; I really think it's a great idea.  I will be getting a blue, green and orange FRANK.  I will hang these lower so C Monster and his friends have easy to reach hooks to place their things on.
