Why do we always put things off that take the least amount of time to do?

Today I’m tackling our front entryway. We have lived in this house for 6 years and it still looks like a mess.

My girls come right in the door and throw their stuff right down.

I 3D printed these hooks, if you want the link to the file, let me know! They were super easy to install.

The only thing I don’t like is the screw showing. Should I paint the same color as the wood or make them a bronze or brass color?

4/28 Edited to

... Read moreProcrastinating on small home projects is something I can definitely relate to, especially when it comes to organizing my entryway. For years, I delayed tackling the clutter where my kids would just drop their belongings as soon as they walked in. But recently, I finally took action by installing 3D printed hooks, which turned out to be a game changer. One trick that helped me was using painter's tape and a makeshift level to ensure the hooks were perfectly straight before screwing them in. This made the installation quick and hassle-free, taking only about 20 minutes total. If you’re thinking about adding hooks yourself, DIYers might appreciate that 3D printing allows for customization to fit any space or style. After mounting, I noticed the screws sticking out, which made me wonder whether to paint them to blend in with the wood or give them a contrasting bronze or brass finish for a decorative touch. Both options can work well depending on your aesthetic—painting the screws the same color hides them for a cleaner look, while metallic hues add a bit of elegance and interest. If you’re like me and have been putting off small organizing projects, these hooks are worth considering. They offer a simple way to keep entryways tidy, help kids learn to hang up their stuff, and add personality to your home. Plus, if you want to try the 3D printed hook files, they’re often shared by creators who enjoy helping others upgrade their spaces easily.
