    what terrific ideas!!!

    We have something similar on a smaller and cheaper scale, its brilliant, nothing on the floor anymore!!!

    Wow!

    I no longer have children at school (sniff) but these ideas are fantastic. I love the framed pictures too

    Awwww Kat… I love the idea of all of them & now I don’t know how I want to do it! Lol I have 2 possible spots… Under the kitchen bench..(where stools go..I’ve put them in the garage do its empty there).. I thought a shelf/cube kinda thing.. & I can hang a whiteboard & corkboard on the wall beside it! Then theres a small bit of wall in between my lounge room & dining room thats just empty.. I thought something similar or like a hallway table..drawer on top & shelf underneath! Hmmm now its decision time… Spose it’ll depend what I can find at the cheapest price as long as its not cheap/nasty looking! Lol
    Kat just another question…where did u get that ‘LOVE’ hanging thing? Lol don’t ya just love my description of things! Yep I’m still half asleep!

    Amy Barber post some pictures up if you need a hand. The love sign is from house and garden, I purchased in October, i saw they still had some recently.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=561168564 Princess Lanii Douglas on Facebook

    If you don’t have the space to do a big area for all the children, perhaps make each child a spot in their own bedrooms. It would only take a couple of hooks and a basket.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=635673681 Amy Barber on Facebook

    Ok Kat..I’ll do it sometime today! Thank u! Bugga don’t have a house & garden shop here!

  • http://facebook Mel

    These ideas are all fantastic but unfortunately we are in a rental house so I can’t use any of them.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=733739093 Lisa Brown on Facebook

    including colour co-ordinated clothing. Great ideas.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=716632860 Shannon Gallaway on Facebook

    I had an area in our previous home, it was great. We have the house on the market at the moment as we’re relocating do I’ve got it looking like a show home at the moment – no bag nook :( once we finally sell and we’re settled it will most definitely be reinstated!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000764164203 Jo Hotker on Facebook

    Is there any pics of no hooks on walls?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1318118344 Alison Gatt on Facebook

    Love these ideas

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=679138503 Kylie Sheedy on Facebook

    Mel, photo # 4 is do-able in a rental. Just without the hooks

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=679138503 Kylie Sheedy on Facebook

    2 bookshelves an a Chest in the middle. You can buy a free standing coat/hat rack at target at the moment

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=630882606 Rebecca ‘Orr’ Anastasi on Facebook

    Our unit is freestanding and we use 3M removable hooks, perfect for renting. :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1567821466 Née-Née Mills on Facebook

    also cant do this in my rental nor do i have the space for the chest and basket arrangement we do put it all in a corner of her room though

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1369505655 Belinda Wall on Facebook

    Anyone know where I could find the storage furniture like in picture 3? It’s got the shelf hooks and storage baskets underneath!! I want todo it right now!! Lol

  • http://lulusplace.wordpress.com/ lulusplace

    wow. I love these. Wish we had room in our tiny home for something like this….

    • Pen

      i think it’s the tiny house that benefits most from these systems. I am thinking of something like this down our hallway.

  • Meg

    Love them all. Im struggling to find a spot in our small house for one of these kinds of systems. Not enough walls im afriad LOL.

  • Trish

    Such fab ideas here – I hope I can achieve something with bits from all of them.

  • http://twitter.com/SquiggleMum Catherine Oehlman

    I just suggested creating an area like this in an article for Kleenex Mums… “Consider creating a zone somewhere near the front door for tired kids to drop their school bags, take off their smelly shoes and hang up their hats.” Great minds :-) Here’s the article if you’re interested: http://www.kleenexmums.com.au/back-to-school/back-to-school-preparations/

    I love the photos and would like to know what approachs people have taken to rental properties where the ability to hang hooks etc is limited. Regards Kristy.

  • KylieP

    i love this idea! Does anyone know where the set of 5 storage drawers in the 3rd picture down are from? I always thought they were Ikea but no luck! I really want to combine a few of these ideas and would love to get a set of the drawers/shelf…..Tjanks Kylie

  • Teannajames

    Thank you!!! I have just set one of these up at our house. It’s a lot simpler and less pretty, but it’s functional and right now I am seeing school ports and handbags all hung and organised and ready for Monday morning. Woooohooooooo

  • Karen

    love it love it love it – SO inspirational!

  • rachels

    Fabulous, thanks for the inspiration. Can you tell me where you found your hooks? We are having a bit of trouble getting something strong enough for school bags…thanks

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      i found them at Bunnings, there is a wide selection available many different colours, sizes and varieties.

    In the past I have put hooks under the kitchen bench (breakfast bar) this works in a rental.

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      Great idea!

    • Sarah

      Oh thankyou for this great idea, i was thinking how am i going to incorparate this idea into my house, with limited space ! Thanks !! :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/meljlord Mel Lord

    I was going to do this in our wide hallways (as I’m not lucky enough to have a carport attached to the house) however, I have just moved a hall table cause it just didn’t work. Both of my kids rooms, have a “useless” area just inside their door ways, where the built ins didn’t go all the was across. So I have put hooks on the walls there. So their bags have to go to their rooms….
    Routine is get lunch boxes out and put in sink, homework on table, and then bag to bedroom.

    Does anyone know where the ‘to do list’ white boards in Emily Ritchie’s photo are from? Or if she has a blog where the information may be? I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. Thanks

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      No Kel, I’m not sure where they are from. But I will keep my eye out and let you know when I see some :) Dollar shops are usually good for these boards.
