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.

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.

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

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

including colour co-ordinated clothing. Great ideas.

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!

Is there any pics of no hooks on walls?

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

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

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

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.

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.

A portable version like this http://ana-white.com/2011/09/entry-cubbies might be a good idea – I love these!

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

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
