hooking up

so i'm sure it's juju's influence, but aren't hooks fantastic? i love how no extra hardware is required, no folding, no lumpy messes on the floor. these hooks from inno are the best. i've been contemplating coat rack ideas for awhile now and these have no footprint, err, i mean tree trunk. love love love
