The Art of Hats

-
   

M has as ever growing collection of hats and for some time now we had been trying to figure out how to store them. He didn't want them to be upstairs in our closet.. he picks his hat in the morning before going to work. He was also worried about preserving the shape and structure of his beloved fedoras. We have already laid one.. his favorite to rest.

An empty space above our Ikea shoe cabinet and some clear push pins, in less that an hour we had our solution. And it looks pretty :)

p.s we are currently getting ready for a massive snow storm, expecting over a foot of snow and strong gales. And to make matters worse over the weekend our heater stopped working. We are hoping to get it repaired today.. Stay warm my fellow East Coasters.. Stay safe.

UPDATE: Heat is up and running :)

A hat for every season and occasion. Sure beats baseball caps.

I really like that, Hena. I have a coatrack on the wall in the foyer which we use for hat storage, but nobody here wears any particular hat every day. We each have two, a winter hat and a sun hat. I've always wished I had a hat style, though. I think hats are very cool. Stay safe in that snow!

Thanks Jennifer. He surprisingly pulls them off really well and wears them all winter. I have a straw hat that I think I can pull off, he bought me a fedora once which is up on the wall but I never feel comfortable in it. I feel like I am trying to be someone else.
Our heat is up and running thank god.. the while the boys are excited, hopefully this is the last snow

Displaying the hats is a great way to store and show them off at the same time.
Hope you got your heater repaired. We didn't get anywhere as much snow as predicted in NYC.

Good luck riding out the storm. We've had very confusing weather here. I like your storage solution, and if it doubles as wall art that is a bonus! :) XO - Alexandra

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
