The blog, Hooked on Houses, sponsors a "Hooked on Fridays" collaboration. Other blogs link up on Hooked and add what they are hooked on. I thought I would join in today. It is fun and always interesting. Go have a look and let me know what you think.
Regular readers know that I am hooked on hooks!
The above hook holding one of the puppets I used to sell, is in one of the guest bathrooms.
The bird hooks, on the back of a door, hold some of my shopping bags. YOU have given up taking the offered plastic bags, haven't you?
We think this great burled wood piece may be the top architectural decoration of an old dresser. It is a lovely bit and makes a great hat rack in our front foyer with some old hooks added.
Regular readers have seen the next photos. We love old vintage hardware. Below, John has attached an ornate old doorknob to a drawer front to hold his pool table rack.
In his "man-room" bathroom, he added a different type door handle to another drawer front to hold his hand towels. I added the eyeball.
The last photo I have to share also features an antique hardware door pull. We added it to the front of our kitchen sink to hold towels. It is wide enough and definitely sturdy enough to take everyday use.
What are you hooked on?
P.S. Thank you for all the comments yesterday. You are the best!

I have at least 4 hooks that I HAD to have, that have never been put up.
It's a sickness!

The kitchen sink hook is my favourite! And I just have to say what an amazing sense of style you have - everything you add to your home just looks perfect to me. It must be because you decorate with items you love, but somehow it all works together so well. You have a great eye for decorating!

Hey Ginny - love the hooks! btw I have the same "puppet" hanging in my studio - I love her work - have several of her pieces - I'm hooked on Roosters of all sorts - (not the live variety) I have a collection from wooden folk styles to ceramic and metal ones - not sure why - they just appeal to me - Reva (Los Angeles)
