my hang-it-all

Remember back in November I wrote about the vitra special edition of the Eames hang-it-all coat rack. My parents read my blog and thought the red one would be a great addition to our entry vestibule so they gave it to me for Christmas. Thanks again Mom and Dad!

I hung it on Sunday and even managed to hit studs with all four screws so it hangs very secure. Which was a first for me, I usually miss the studs by a couple of millimeters. Keep staring at it in awe because the red color looks so nice on the dark grey walls.

    Oh, die Garderobe sieht wirklich einmalig toll an der Wand aus!! Ist das eigentlich normale Wandfarbe, oder Tafelfarbe?

    Thank you! Yeah, my parents (like everybody in my family) are awesome :) And of course you should have your parents read your blog!

    Inspirationsquelle, das ist normale Wandfarbe. In diesem Fall Benjamin Moore Ben in Raccoon Fur. Mit Tafelfarbe muss ich auch unbedingt mal etwas machen.

    maya, the vitra online shop ships worldwide but shipping rates are very high. For they hang-it all they charge 37 Euros plus a surcharge of another 37 Euros if I inderstand their site correctly, that's almost $100 just for shipping :( http://www.design-museum.com/en/Shipping-Information/

    oh my Nina, can I say how much I love the hang-it all? I adore the colourful version as well as this more grown-up wooden version. Once I move into a bigger apartment I will definitely get one of these! A design classic!! Cheers from Munich, Igor xoxo

    The colours of the hang it all look great against the black backdrop. Well done Nina's parents!

    Das sieht wahnsinnig toll aus - gerade vor Eurer dunklen Wand! Genau wie bei der Tür zeigt es mal wieder, dass man hin und wieder ruhig mutig sein sollte (zumindets was die Farben angeht)!

    Let's see how many ways do I love thee - Red, dark gray, touch of natural wood, and Eames. Looks great, Nina.
