I don't know where the idea for this coat rack came from, but I had it in my head that I wanted to buy a cabinet door and turn it into a coat rack with a collection of fun drawer pulls. I found this cabinet door being sold on craigslist. I bought the five different knobs from Hobby Lobby. I love that store! I also bought a hanging system from Lowe's for about $12. It has a strip of metal that goes on the cabinet door and one that goes on the wall. Then the two slide into each other. It was really simple to hang. The metal from the knobs stuck out too far in the back of the cabinet door so I used a dremel tool to cut off the excess metal. That was exciting! Sparks were flying everywhere!
Right now I have the "Hey Y'all" sign (from Hobby Lobby-I wanted a little Texas in this space!) but I plan to change it out with something for Christmas in another month or so.
The bench I bought on Etsy. It's a great collection spot for all the shoes that people take off as they come in the house.
I suggest checking places like houzz.com, home decor magazines or your favorite HGTV show for ideas for your home. It's a great way to take what you like and copy that for your space.
This is adorable! I need to come see it in person. I am loving your home improvement posts. I want your organizational talents to rub off on me!
