making an “antique” hook rail
I think one of the hardest areas in a house to keep clean and tidy, aside from the kitchen and bathrooms, is the foyer. It’s natural to walk in and dump everything that your carrying, kick off your shoes, and then go about your business. Our foyer, even though it’s two stories, is relatively small as far as square footage on the floor is concerned. There is just a small space by the door and, of course, a pile of shoes quickly collects there and it gets even more out of control over the winter with all of the wet and salty boots! There also wasn’t a place to hang purses, coats, hats, and Sebastian’s leash, so the doorknobs in the foyer (to my office and the coat closet) were always engaged as hangers for those items. I’ve been looking around for an antique-style hook rail that would fit next
