Thought I'd post pics of the canvas prints and the bench we made.

My question is about the pic with the bench. I was going to do hooks above it so the kids can hang their jackets. (and me and Dustin, too. We usually just leave them on a dining room chair and it looks horrible.)

I love the look of an entryway with all the jackets and stuff ready to go. Makes it look really lived in. But that wall is actually in our dining/living area. It's pretty far from the table (the space is huge) but I worry it will look cluttered. There is a closet on that wall too so I could put hooks in there but I feel like we probably won't use them as much as if they were out.

What would you do?

(I also think we could hang the hooks and if I hate it, we could move them. Yes, I'm debating this much over hooks. Shut it.)
