We’re as bitter as the next Torontonian about having to bring our jackets and scarves out. Then there are the inevitable overcrowded coat hooks and the disorganized mitten basket. If it were summer all the time, we wouldn’t need to worry about storing winter paraphernalia; since that’s not the case (Did you see the flurries last weekend? Blech!), we might as well organize in style. One of our favourite decor design firms, Blu Dot, has just released the Splash coat rack ($279 U.S.) in walnut and powder-coated steel. Resembling a handful of pick-up sticks, the piece makes us a little less grumpy about cold weather, and it looks as good empty as it does full, so we won’t be putting it away come June. It’s on sale for $223.20, so order it on-line now.

Looks like they took the liberty to draw inspiration from Misewell a bit. However Misewell executes the Walnut/Powder-coated steel connection much more successfully. I love the way the legs lock in both the 1/2 Nelson and the Conrad.
