Hang Your Coats from a Tree

What an interesting way to use hooks - along with this tree sticker from ferm Living. [via Apartment Therapy]

And here's a similar idea using hooks from Vertbaudet. [via babygadget]

And I'll bet you could do something similar with these leaf hooks.

This stunning stained glass maple leaf hook is another option.

If you wanted to pursue this idea, there are certainly plenty of tree wall decals available - or you could work with a muralist to get just the look you want.

We use a big 6 foot tall solid 'tree' in our laundry - made from rough hewn pine & varnished - with about 12 large pegs jutting out. We use it to hang up the school backpacks, hats, school jackets etc. It is luckily very sturdy!

Wow, Miz Molly - that's sturdy indeed, if it can handle backpacks! If you'd like to e-mail me a picture, I might just include it in a separate blog post.

I've written about coat trees before, but none of these look like they'd handle backpacks - at least the way many kids stuff them full. Maybe some of the hall trees could, though.
