"Display what you love most..." I read this in a home decor magazine and it really stuck with me. Instead of trying to create a "look" for your decor, just display the items you love... the things that most reflect you. Well, I don't know that my fedora collection reflects who I am, but I sure do love them! I wear them with much gusto, whether I pull it off or not! *unabashed gleeful grin* So I opted to "store" them on display. Plus I'm fond of a wall full of hooks.
Hooks are handy, they help keep things organized, and are a great way to display my favorite things.I have seen entire walls outfitted with hooks for displaying decor items, however I opted to install a simple row of three vertical hooks to display wearable items near my closet. The idea is to be able to hang in layers the three main pieces of an outfit, preparing for an upcoming event or outing.
Changing Your Display
If I ever tire of seeing my wearable display, I can simply swap it out for some other fantastic hanging display. Might as well see a few of my things on the wall, and not just tucked away in my closet, right? That favorite scarf, a regularly used purse, my fedora collection... In addition, these items become quickly and easily accessible, making this display practical decor. During the week I might use my "everyday bag", but for church and special events I simply swap that purse for my "cute and compact" one on display, and presto my decor has changed. This makes your decor fluid, always replacing what is on the wall as you use it. It also makes for a seasonal display, as the things I wear or use regularly also change with the seasons.
This idea doesn't only work for the ladies, I have often used these hooks to lay out the hubby's suit for special occasions. 
The final steps may be a while in coming... I want to do something with that big white door to the garage, and I would love to update those cabinet doors with frosted glass inserts and new hardware. Unfortunately I will need to acquire some skill and the proper tools to accomplish this! This calls for some research, maybe it will be a video "how-to" opportunity? At some point I would also like to take out that awful green office carpeting and put something akin to hardwood down. It will have to wait until the perfect flooring goes on sale (a really really great sale), or I stumble across just the right set waiting to be taken home from the Habitat for Humanity Resale shop. Wow, I can't wait! Well, this project has barely begun, but it is a step in the right direction. Isn't the power of paint amazing?
LeHavre was the very first Eurogame I set out to organize.
After testing several different methods, I discovered that using a simple accordion file worked best for my needs. This bad boy holds the thickest manuals manufacturers can throw at me! Not to mention that it was the most inexpensive option I could find. I have seen some very snazzy binder methods, but when I went to purchase all the specialty inserts and miscellaneous items I needed, I quickly realized that the entire endeavor would be pretty pricey. I went home empty-handed dreaming up ways to make this work.
