HEADBOARD TO COAT RACK DIY !



I HAD ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS PROJECT A LITTLE WHILE BACK BUT I HAD NOT HUNG IT UP YET. 
AND I ACTUALLY GOT AROUND
TO DOING IT TODAY.

I STARTED OUT WITH THIS
OLD HEADBOARD THAT I PICKED
UP AT A THRIFT STORE..
BEFORE...



I LOVED THE DETAIL AND THE
CARVED LOOK IT HAD TO IT.
BUT DID NOT WANT TO USE
IT FOR MY BED...

SO I CUT OFF THE LEGS...

USED A JIGSAW FOR THIS

I LOVE BEING ABLE TO USE
SOMETHING FOR A DIFFERENT
PURPOSE OTHER THAN WHAT IT
WAS INTENDED FOR..

WITH A LITTLE PAINT AND 
SOME NICKEL HARDWARE
ADDED TO THE FRONT TO
HOLD COATS AND HATS AND WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO HANG ON IT, THIS
IS WHAT I ENDED UP WITH.

AFTER...

I HUNG IT IN MY ENTRY WAY AND
IM GLAD IT MATCHED WITH THE
SAME FEELING AS THE PIECES I
ALREADY HAD HANGING UP.



IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU'LL
NOTICE THE LITTLE HEARTS IN
THE CARVING WHICH I THOUGHT WAS
SUPER CUTE AND DIDN'T 
NOTICE UNTIL I WAS WORKING WITH THE PIECE...


I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT TOO.

  4. Nice job. I was expecting to see the hooks down on the flap board but you surprised me. That turned out great.
