Maybe it’s just in my home, but kid coats always seem to end up strewn across floor. Or on  the couch. Or dropped in the doorway.  There’s a coat tree for the taller family members, but what about the little people?

Hanging hooks on the wall is a great solution for some families, but not ours.  We rent and don’t want to drill holes in the wall.  Even if we decided to put holes in the wall, I would have to hire a handyman since I don’t have a drill for cement walls.

I pondered a solution. Perhaps a coat tree for kid height would be good.  Good idea, but where to buy one locally?

Then BOOM.  A flash of inspiration like a lightning bolt hit me.  I could hang the over-the-door rack on the back of a straight-backed sturdy chair! VOILA!  a SOLUTION. I have chairs and I have over-the-door-hooks.

It’s been 3 days and so far so good.

 

Of course this isn’t where the chair is normally located.  It’s pushed up against the table and fully usable. I decided to put a piece of cloth over the chair to protect the wood from potential scratches.

My chairs are sturdy tipping over isn’t a concern for me.  But if you have a chair that may have tipping potential you can put something heavy on the seat to weight it down. A backpack or a basket filled with outdoor gear like hats and gloves would be something to use.
