I’m probably giving you all decorating whiplash at this point after talking about painting our entry, fixing up our bar cart, hanging new drapes in our office, and fixing up our kitchen eat-in area all within the past few weeks. Of course it’d make the most sense to completely finish one or two of these before starting anything else but what fun would it be for me to not throw some more decorating chaos into the mix? So I’m adding in a project that’s long, long overdue – finishing up my tween daughter’s bedroom that I remodeled almost a year ago. Remember it?
There’s a large wall in her room that’s totally bare and needing some pizzazz to match the rest of this colorful space. My daughter and I have been collecting purses for months with a plan to create a decorative wall of purses to store all of her many “little things”. Notepads, animal figurines, lip balms…the list goes on and on of all of the little things that she loves to collect but we haven’t found a great home for.
And after finding two more purses on clearance at Target last week, we finally have enough to create our wall!
The only thing we have left to figure out is the type of wall hooks to hang the purses from. Because plain ole generic wall hooks aren’t going to cut it – I wanted to find something fun and unique that my daughter loves. After a ton of searching I came up with some great ones for her to choose from. I thought you guys might like seeing them too in case you’re on the look-out for cool hooks for projects of your own (note: some of the below links are affiliate links).
Any favorites? I’m rooting for numbers six and eight but the decision is totally up to my little one. I’ll let you know what she decides and hopefully we’ll have a fun new purse wall to share with you all in the next few weeks!

March 5, 2015 at 11:04 pmYou and my daughter are on the same page – that’s the one she ended up choosing! And yes, girls have so much stuff (and mine have no interest in getting rid of any of it!).

March 5, 2015 at 11:05 pmThanks Marty – we’re so excited to get this last part of her room done!

March 4, 2015 at 8:44 amooooh i love these! love the arrows! and also the unicorn of the sea. 😉
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:06 pmShe ended up choosing the silver arrow (yay!) and did you know that another name for the unicorn of the sea is a “narwal” – learned that little tidbit when putting together this post!
Jody says
March 4, 2015 at 10:01 amThe arrow.
Stylish, clean, and doesn`t compete with the purses
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:06 pmI’m with you on the arrow Jody and so is my daughter – that’s the one she picked!
Carol says
March 4, 2015 at 10:03 amThey are all wonderful so hard decision for you and your daughter. Would a mix of several (maybe four) hooks work?. Maybe a theme such as the sea/beach or animals? Maybe that would be too much given that the purses all differ. UGH – good luck with this great idea.
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:08 pmYou and I are on the same wavelength Carol – I had the same thought of mixing and matching the hooks but then thought it might be too much with the purses. I ended up leaving it up to my daughter and she decided to go with the arrows – a great choice I think!
Carol says
March 6, 2015 at 9:05 amGreat choice! I would still be a victim of analysis paralysis if I had to make this decision. .

March 4, 2015 at 10:19 amI’d be all over a purse collection! 🙂 Such a fun unique idea! Ha, I was just wondering the other day if I somehow missed the office reveal, no doubt it will be worth the wait!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:09 pmMy poor little office is never going to be done – I still need to track down an office chair! But I should have the drapes and rods photographed and up on the blog next week!

March 4, 2015 at 10:27 amOh, her room is adorable! I love that deep, vivid green on the walls! The elephant hooks are so cute!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:10 pmThanks Jennifer! I know, aren’t those elephant hooks the cutest?! My daughter decided to go with the arrows but I need to find a way to work an elephant hook or two into her room somewhere!
Lisa @ Shine Your Light says
March 4, 2015 at 10:49 amWhat a cute idea for functional art! You are definitely the fun mom! I love the white arrows…what is your daughter leaning towards?
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:11 pmShe ended up deciding on the silver arrow (which I think we’ll spray paint gold) – we can’t wait to get them and get this purse wall up (the purses have been laying all over her floor for months now….)
Carrie says
March 4, 2015 at 2:51 pmThe purse wall is going to be so cute! I love the colors!! Great hook finds, too. Six and eight are my faves but that narwhal is pretty fun! 🙂
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:12 pmThanks Carrie! Consider me impressed with your narwhal lingo – I hadn’t ever heard of that before I saw that was the name of the hook!
Laurie says
March 4, 2015 at 3:00 pmI love #6, but knowing tween girls (my girls are 12 & 10), I think she will go for #3 or #8. Arrows are SO the in thing right now…or so I’m told. 🙂 Good luck. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:12 pmYou know those tween girls all too well – #8 it is!
savvy shopper says
March 5, 2015 at 9:32 amMy favorite – the elephant (of course), but my practical side says 8 only because it probably would be easiest to remove those purses if she ever needed to use them, and from an aesthetic point of view, it closely mirrors the geometric pattern on the bedspread. Would love to see what she picks! She’s definitely got some cool choices.
Kris @ Driven by Decor says
March 5, 2015 at 11:15 pmMy daughter went with #8 which I was pretty psyched about (we’re usually not on the same page with decorating decisions). I didn’t even think about how well it works with the pattern on the bedspread – bonus!
savvy shopper says
March 8, 2015 at 2:19 pmGreat choice, and makes me seem “cool” 🙂
