Creative Coat Hangers/Cubby Ideas?

[SilverSabre25]

I got two set of hooks from Target when they were on sale for $14--there are six hooks each and I have one set at kid level and another set at adult level. They screwed into the wall beautifully and are awesome. I love them. Someday I will contrive a way to hang pockets or something to store hats/gloves/socks, maybe even shoes, but that's a ways away. I'll post pictures, of the space and the hooks themselves, after I go clean the area up

Okay, so that didn't take too long. Don't ask what I did with the stuff that didn't belong where it was...

Silver Sabre:....what does your name mean? LOL, anyways, do you usually have rugs in your entry way?

I chose this as my email address when I was a teenager and a fencer. I can't fence any more (although really want to get back to it someday!) but haven't felt like changing the name...it's my user name pretty much everywhere!

I usually have a mat down, but when I was cleaning a few weeks ago I moved it and now I can't find it. :: I *think* it's in the laundry room, but I'm not sure...and I haven't had time to look!

that looks cool,

I love the seperate entry. Away from everything else.

ok, here is my entry room,... cubbies, dollys legos and water toys on top shelf, art manipulatives, first aid, soft blocks on middle, reference, cardboard blocks, puzzles, color wheels, diapering supplies and payment box on next. Everyone who is in diapers has a cubby. Pull up and under kids have a plastic drawer and hook for coat on opposite sites of cubbies, then is my parent board, and cots.

and here is our computer area, where school kids do homework, all office stuff happens, and our paint storage, infant outdoor toy storage, and out digital frame, webcam for the parents, etc....

and here is our display wall, our clock in the childs height, games, blocks, puzzles, books, parachute, see it tubes, and sling and extra pnp.

Laundrymom, I totally love the art display with the line and am going to steal the idea.

Laundrymom I really like it too! How do you keep the 1 - 2 yos from grabbing everything off the shelves? Maybe mine are the only ones that are so destructive!!

I tell them no. they do NOT cross the threshhold into the front room. They arent allowed in there unless invited. ever. I use gates sometimes for my 9 mo old but hes the only one,.. when they start crawling I put the gate up but dont latch it, just lean it, so if he pulls on it it falls on him gently,... scares the begeezers out of them and after a few times they stop.
They just know better. I just say NO.
