DIY Up-cycled Old Door to Coat Rack
02 August
You may remember when I shared my high school cedar hope chest makeover that I mentioned I had something planned for the wall above it.
My house doesn't have a real entry or foyer, you just open the front door and you are immediately in the living room.
To help create a faux entry this is what I came up with.
This is made with the leftover part of an old door that I cut down to use for a work bench in my new craft studio. This is the end I cut off and I thought it would make a cute coat rack to help create my entry way.

Supplies Needed
- Piece of an old door (or a window or other old piece of wood will work too)
- Shelf or board to create a shelf
Instructions
- Paint all the parts (door, shelf brackets (if you have chosen wood), and shelf) the same color.
- Mount the brackets to the door at the top the same way you would mount them to a wall. These had keyhole hangers.
- Add the coat hooks wherever you want them located on the door. I chose to mount mine in the center part of the door but it would be cute to mount them to the bottom and then hang a cute picture in the open space too!
The chalkboard picture was something I found in the clearance isle at TJ Maxx awhile back, it was only $5!!
I think it looks really good there and helps to create the entry way that my home is missing.
What do you think?
I just have a couple more additions and I'll show you the whole faux entry soon!

It looks good. The shelf turned out great!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm lovin' it! I thought that might be what you were up to...:) That little area makes a great faux entry. I don't have an entry either but hope to build in something when we remodel one day! Have a wonderful weekend....Vicky

thank you for commenting on my blog. I had to come see what you were doing. I love this little shelf. Someone in my family just bought one for hundreds and it wasn't even as cute. Keep up the good work!
