Bicycle Chic

Today's Agenda:  Think about some in-home bicycle storage solutions since, sadly, my husband's bike got swiped over the weekend from our in-garage bike storage area in our condo building.  I'm sad about the bike {and for some reason can only keep thinking about Lance's book title "It's Not About the Bike" but, you know, it IS about the bike, for us right now at least...} and trying to think of a creative solution to hang it inside our place.  We have a loft space so it actually won't clash with our decor and could even enhance it.  Here's the space I'm thinking of using for it.  I think I would paint that wall a semi-gloss so it would be easier to clean the scruff marks off {or continue my affinity for black walls and do that here...}.

Here are some creative {and some super simple} options I've seen around the internet...has anyone tried one that works?

Custom tension option

Ikea hack

Wood bike rack

Good styling

This makes me nervous -- maybe because it's called the "hoist monster"??

I like this console table
