I wanted to start this post out by telling you I have never built a thing in my life. You know nails and glue and real wood. I did build a doll house once. Does that count? Anyway , I just wanted you to know that if I can build it I know anyone can!

I started out with a piece of bead board,moulding,and a piece of pine. You dont have to worry about the size because you can cut everything to fit just right.

I used the pine boards that I use for my name signs. I measured my moulding and drew a line at the top of the board.

I cut my bead board to fit leaving that space above the line for my moulding.

Glued down with wood glue and some very small finishing nails.

It should then look kind of like this.

You will need a strip of old wood to top your coat rack off. I just used one of my cypress fence planks but you can use any scrap you may have.

It should look like this. Here I just used an old scrap.

I then wedged my moulding {with glue} into that space and used a few small nails to hold it in good and tight.

You may have a tiny crack like this..

No worries girls! Just get your gun and...

caulk it up!

Now that you have your coat rack built you will need to decide on your paint color. I wanted this one to look very old and worn so I found some neat historical colors.

I cannot seem to get enough of this vintage blue and red.

Dont worry about getting too deep into the cracks or covering every inch because we will sand a good portion of it off.

See!

What do you think?

I know it looks like a lot of work but believe me, it was so worth it!

I find myself just staring at it with a huge sense of pride. You know..nails and wood glue,saws and sanders are not just for boys anymore!

I hope if you love this idea you will give it a try. Just remember it's supposed to look old an worn so that free's up any perfection fears you may have. Put your stamp on it..make it your own..make some history! {and have fun}~
Very pretty! Love that you left the bottom edge of the beadboard rough and chipped.
ReplyDeleteSusie........I have a new admiration for you dear girl..... anyone who actually DOES all the things such as you....well...bravo!

Okies Susie.. quick question here.. hubs and I do a few racks here ourselves. So, did you inset the hangers on the back panel.. and just how much does that baby weigh?
ReplyDeleteHubs said that I need to take construction 101 from you in order to free up his time more often.. I told him unles he plans on taking lessons from Julia Childs on cooking (which we know very well he can't.. but I wonder if he does.. heehee).. then I'd hire you teach me to art of construction on woodwork. ;)
Nice color picks too.
Looks good...get ready to work only 71/2 weeks...todays task (NAME)....

Great idea for little cost.

First and foremost, let’s get one thing straight: Herve Leger Dresses“There’s an incorrect assumption about Herve that it’s only for evening,”Herve Leger sale Lubov told me up on the 18th floor of her Oktoberfest Costumes Times Square showroom and headquarters. “It can be worn anytime! People also assume that it should fit really tight, but personally I wear it one size bigger because I like the comfort of it while still getting the silhouette.”Herve Leger Replica These are the dresses that are coming into our stores and online now, and these are the dresses that are going to show up come Saturday, because as we pointed out in our runway report last season, an Herve Leger show is full of Herve Leger dresses.
