Goodbye to coats hanging on the wall…

As we are slowly moving over to the new place, it hit me that our fabulous coat hanging system in our current apt won’t work in the new one.

We took a long wall with plenty of walking space and hung curtain hooks on the wall. We put our heavy winter/wool jackets there. It turned into a functional piece of wall art. We have a huge variety of coats, long, short, grey, patterned, colorful.

This idea came about because our closets are tiny (typical SF) and we have a ton of jackets. I was actually surprised how many I/we had when I started putting them on the wall. Living in cold weather means I need a variety of coats and I certainly can’t wear the same coat every day. From the perspective of my wardrobe, I don’t have nearly enough. However, given my limited closet space I have to choose new coats sparingly.

This was the perfect solution, plus you never had an excuse to not hang up your coat for the day. The new place has a wonderful entry closet that we can hang coats in. I will keep this idea in my back pocket for future city apts.
