We shot a great new House Tour yesterday (look for it next week) and one of our favorite things was this stack of hats by the front door. Patrick, owner of the hats and inhabitant of the apartment, wears them regularly, but we were struck by the way they worked so well as decor. This is functional beauty at its best - something that's used regularly and manages to be an aesthetic focal point while being stored.










A stack of something, anything, by the front door isn't an aesthetic focal point. Cool stuff is cool stuff, but lay off the designer jargon, please.
