Although our house has plenty of space and lots of closets it does lack one thing. A hall closet or a place to store coats, shoes, umbrellas etc. So I need to have something for our coats and our shoes- for guests coats and shoes.
This is the BEFORE.
We have had this mirror/coat rack forever...since we were married. I love it, but not so much for the entry way. it just looks cluttered. un-impressive. blah.
and the little rubbermaid fake wood cabinet thing is a recent move-down from upstairs to try to hold all our winter accessories.
As for the mirror we moved it to the bathroom. It holds our towels perfect. Enough of ours, and the kids. The towel rods only hold two, and our towels don't always dry on them. I hate it when towels are wet and smelly. Hanging them here solves all our problems:) and looks better!
{If you are looking for it, I think wal-mart is still selling them. like I said ours is 6 years old, but I swear I saw them there recently. around $30...more than we paid!)
Back to the entry way!
After all my projects were done I put them on nicely.
Found some bargan baskets- one for boots, one for scarfs and gloves.
Great hooks at IKEA, super cheap! 4 of them for $4
although- I would say THESE are my favorite. just a little
more dough. 3 for $10, so w
e would have needed 2 packs. and not all the hooks.
I LOVE how they fold right up- disappear.
Other than the mirror the accessories on the table will change according to season and how fast I get sick of them.
Here is the Final product!
I will add, I think I will like the likes of this better in the spring when there will be bulky coats 0BUT when you open the door you are no longer bombarded by coats!

LOVE THAT MIRROR!!
If you ever get sick of it and want me to take it off your hands, let me know. I'd be obliged to help.
Looks good! Doesn't it feel good to get things at such a good price and be in love with them at the same time?
How bout a couple of stacked books under the white vase? Do you have any leather bound books?
Thats funny you should say that, I totally have some books sitting out, downstairs that I forgot to bring up!but I contemplated taking nw pictured but didn't want to do all that work :) Great minds think alike!
I love the Idea of a goblet as a key holder!! Totally going to copy it! It all looks soo good. Love LOVE the mirror! nice work missy!
I love the way you redid the mirror too. I always find good stuff at Ross too if your salvation army is lacking for too long. Love the baskets. Maybe a diff. rug to spice things up if you get board with that one. I'm sitting on your design blog while my house needs cleaning but with the rain the past two days I don't really have the motivtion to clean my house. (Which really isn't that bad) But want to finish my project of my bedroom but not gonna paint with 3 kids awake.Maybe I can finish sowing my kids towels. Yeah, let's try that. Love ya! I'll have to send you pic of my room when I finish. Just got the paint for the wall yesterday so it doesn't "look like a hospital" according to chris and Kylie.
I'm a sucker for mirrors and milk glass. Great job!
love the whole entry way...will you come decorate my house!!! PLEASE!!! :-)
