I had kept the left over wood from my old garden gate (see post before - New garden gate), and wanted to do something with it. It had taken a beating through the years but it had something about it and would have been a pity to throw out.
I cleaned it up by scrubbing it down and sanding it with sand paper. My choice was a new coat rack in my hallway. My ex-landlord had left hers, so i had an old metal one as i moved in. It had fulfilled its purpose until now, but i had never really liked it. I have another entrance to my flat downstairs, which is not used as it is a store room for my bike, but i moved the old coat rack down there anyway.That way, i used it for all my jackets and therefore there would be more space for visitor´s jackets upstairs.
So, wood cleaned up, and i also let it stand about a week, inside, so it could dry out. I didn´t want the wood to mould on the wall. Again, i varnished them with my teak wood oil and let them dry a day.
I organised some drawer knobs and hooks and all i needed to do was drill holes into the wall and screw the planks onto the desired positions. Then i did the same with the knobs and hooks and that was it.
Stable, practical and good looking. (even though i screwed them on crooked. Will fix that sometime. ;)
