Inspiration

My friend sent me this photo that is now my inspiration for my hallway.

I have a church pew there already that I love and in the fall/winter jacket season

my guest all come in and toss their jackets and purses on the bench.

Which is fine with me and them (I think) but I have always thought it would be nice to have a place to hang things. And this way I can also hang my family photos up again. Don't you love those big, chunky hooks?

I'm on a mission. I already showed it to Mark. Now he has to build it for me. But since I can't sew my 'said friend' is going to sew me a cushion similiar to this one. I mean that's what friends are for, right?
