Salvaged Wood Coat Rack
I these days shared our basement makeover screen, did you happen to look it?
If not, be sure to catch it HERE, It's a pretty great Before and After if I don't mind saying myself.
In that monitor I shared this coat rack that I constituted of a few salvaged timber and today I desired to percentage a touch extra about it.
This coat rack began with a little white peg board that I picked up at a Fancy Farmgirls Sale that is local here in Idaho. I actually picked up quite a bit of goodies at that sale as you can see from this next picture. I'm sure you've notice a few of these things from around our home, like the hanging planter, that is a show stopper in our sunroom.
I needed some hooks by our back entryway so that my boys would have a place to hang up their coats and backpacks when they came home from school, but this little peg board wasn't gonna cut it with only 4 pegs. So I had to get creative. I went out to our garage to see what I could find. I even checked out what was hanging up in the rafters and that's when I discovered these two green painted salvaged boards. I loved them just the way they were. Half green, half white, raw wood exposed with nicks and holes everywhere. They were perfect! Although, I did have to saw them down to the same size as the white peg board.
I picked up a few more hooks from the hardware store. These are inexpensive and are available to a package deal.
I spaced the hooks out to move in-among the pegs.
Then I drilled them in.
I additionally picked up steel brackets from the hardware store to attach the 3 boards together.
I screwed the brackets to each stop of the brand new coat rack.
I think the new coat rack turned out actually cool!
If you happen to have a simple peg board like this and are in need of a few extra hooks, this is something that you could create as well. You might not have the perfect chippy green salvaged boards to use, but I'm sure with any boards the right length and some paint you could create something similar and just as cool.
I was at the start going to hold this coat rack up with the aid of the back door, but because it became out to be a touch at the heavy side and I wasn't capable of discover any studs in that wall, I decided to move it to our basement instead.
This actually is the better place for it anyway. My boys come home from school now and immediately come down stairs to hang up their coats and backpacks and hang out in their favorite after school spot.
Again, if you missed out basement reveal, you can see the rest of the room HERE.
Thank you for stopping by means of nowadays.
