DIY Entryway Decor

If your entryway has a windblown look -- kids' coats strewn on the floor, bags dropped willy-nilly -- mount a series of knobs at kid-friendly heights to eliminate their bleating, "But we can't reach!" These wooden hangers (actually, drawer knobs painted different colors) look modern and fresh, not childish, and their rounded edges make them safe for little noggins walking nearby.

Hanger bolts are threaded at both ends, and you'll need them to connect the knob to the wall. To find the correct size, take the screw that comes with the knob to a hardware store and ask for a match.
