tiny made tidy


The entryway in our house is really more of a landing. When we moved in, it had a coat rack that looked like a board with inserted dowels, hung at about waist level. It served as a place to put car keys and jackets; periodically one could even find mail precariously balanced on top of the dowel mess.

The problem with this wall is it's only 25" or so wide. And on this wall, I want to store shoes, keys, mail, coats, and other winter accessories. Neatly. Sadly, every organizational unit I found was too large. How to solve such a dilemma? Go modular!


One floating shelf, 2 boxes, 3 hooks,and 1 ingenious key hook/mail sorter later, and our essentials are not only easily accessible, but organized. Sometimes I gaze at in contented bliss. No, really, just ask my husband. Organization makes me very happy. Yeah, you can call me a nerd...

Once the direction was established and the pieces obtained, the project didn't even take very long. Cross another trouble zone off the list! [now...if only I could decide on paint color...]
