I know I left you with a bit of a cliffhanger in the last newsletter. Did you guess my favorite piece of home hardware?

Hooks! Source: Rejuvenation

I don't recall manically hanging hooks in prior homes (ok, maybe some light hook-hanging). But in the house we just moved into, the early days were primarily spent online shopping for hooks, ordering hooks, refreshing tracking pages anticipating the arrival of hooks, installing hooks, realizing we need more hooks, rinse and repeat.

My husband: “You seem to never be satisfied with the quantity of hooks in this house.”

Also my husband: “It’d be nice to have a hook in this spot…”

If you were in my shoes, you’d understand. The power of hanging things up is undeniable.

Pile of jackets on the back of the sofa? Horrid.

Pile of jackets hanging on a coat rack? Charming!
