We have a row of hooks next to our closet in our bedroom for this purpose. It works well if you put a little work into it - train yourself to use it in those times when you're just too tired or too much in a hurry to hang things up properly, but take the time to clear it off, too.

I was hoping it would keep the clothes off of the desk chair, but that still seems to be hubb's favorite place to put his worn clothing. Maybe with a little more training... or manlier hooks... (c:

Our bed is up in the corner currently. I hesitated to do it for a long time even though the room was small, but once we moved it there, it opened up a lot of space and I think it has been worth it. However, we might have to move it back or trade places when our baby comes in June - I don't want to have to crawl over hubbs to get to him every few hours!

I used to be so good about this and the past few months it has gone awry. I blame it on my pregnancy and not having the energy that I used to, but in truth, the source of the problem lies in the every day habits. Clothes tossed on the hope chest instead of hung up right away, bills put on the dining table (which is never used for eating anyway), shoes taken off and abandoned wherever they land.

With a 700 sqft 1 bedroom space and baby's imminent arrival in June, I had better straighten up and make some space!!

I agree that the yellow is minimal, but in this case, less is more. I love the grey walls and black curtains, they add super drama and I'm definitely going to borrow that concept.

And I don't mind the floor. I don't like things too matchy-matchy. I think it's a good combo of different styles. Gets my vote!

Nicely done. I love hooks!

I must be some redneck who doesn't give a hoot about BPA or toxins from plastic, but I use the containers for both hot and cold food.

I also must live in a place that is full of people like me because there is also no recycling services whatsoever. So I get the most use out of them I can before filling that landfill.

@Bredlo agreed!

Just wanna say I think you've done a beautiful job so far! I love it.

I'm with the collage idea. Lots of eclectic stuff. A tidy bookshelf would be sweet, too. I think the key to distracting from your tv is to offer an array of interesting pictures/artwork/books, etc. Let it be a wall that expresses you and those in your household.

I think this idea has a lot of potential and would love to try it myself.

Yeah man! The bricks add great texture. Love it! Great job!
