Then I made a trip into our little town to the hardware store. I love the hardware store here. Is that weird? First of all, the town pipes Christmas music into the street, which kind of makes me feel like I'm in a Christmas movie. Then, when you open the door to the hardware store it has one of those old fashioned bells on it. And then there's the guy that works there. He's like an old friend about five minutes after you meet him, one of those people who remembers all your family members and what's been going on with everybody. So I went in, visited with Hardware Guy about how Dad's feeling, what the kids are up to, which wood stoves we like, and finally this coat rack project. He helped me find the hooks I needed for the coat rack and after a little more chitchat, I headed home to complete the project.
Here's how it turned out!
And now we can hang up our coats and maybe I won't have to pick them all up off the floor every ten minutes!
It's a small project in the big picture of all the things to do around here, but it makes us happy!
What are you doing this week?

Looks wonderful! I love repurposing od stuff, so satisfying and thrifty!
ReplyDeleteThis week we'll be fixing the chicken coops up with lights to help get them laying again. We're down to one egg a day with 19 chickens!
Hi Amanda! I agree, it is so nice to be able to make something useful from something that could have ended up in the trash! We'll be saving most of the boards from that old building and using them for whatever we find we need to build around here.
DeleteI would be interested to hear how your chickens do with the new lights. We have lighting for ours and are still only getting about 3 eggs a day from about 25 chickens but I think that ours are probably just getting too old.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I could totally use this in our entry way, especially now that we have backpacks, purses, and a diaper bag! What a great idea to put different style hooks on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteHi! It does work well to have those different hooks on the bottom for all the bags and hats, they were really making a mountain on our floor before! I hope you have a great week and thanks for visiting!
DeleteI need one of these. There is a rocking chair at our back door that seems to catch all our coats and gloves.
ReplyDeleteAt one time we had a rocking chair by our door too, we would trow our coats over the back of it until it fell over!
DeleteYou hog shed recycle came out very nice. I so enjoy when I can recycle and item. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop! I hope you’ll join us again next week!
