Yesterday while shopping at the thrift store with my daughter we came across this wonderful Queen headboard. I loved the color as well as the style. I knew that with railings gone that most people would just pass it by, but still I took no chances and snatched it up. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but how could I pass it up for .09 cents.
When we got it home, I started digging through my covenanted boxes of old hardware and then I knew...Coat Rack.
I started out by taking off the legs first. Next I distressed it with a hand sander, then added hardware. Last step I took some antiquing paint and brushed it over the areas I had distressed.
Not too bad for a hour's work for the finished product. A new coat rack for about .25 cents.
