The paper clips are cute but the bag hanging on them is even cuter.

ooh, that tree sticker is DIY material!

draw then paint the simple design in black paint (or any other color you fancy), install the hooks and voila!

all such great solutions to the front hall storage issue. one of these days i will figure out the perfect one for my house, until then, the old, hook on the closet door will have to suffice.
