DIY Entryway Decor

I have been on a bit of a DIY kick recently, thanks to Pinterest. :)

As I was browsing around, this photo lead me to Suddenly Inspired.
Head over there to see tons of super neat DIY projects.
Anyway, I was INSPIRED. Dadadada!

 I shopped around a bit looking for a cheap coat hanger. 

I was appalled at the prices in Hobby Lobby so I decided to make my own.

I went to Lowe's and bought this 2x4 on clearance and asked them to cut it to the length I wanted.

I didn't have any stain on hand, so I bought some of that too, 

which is okay with me since I needed it for another project.

I had a sanding block and paintbrush on hand already, so when I got home I went right to work.
After staining my board, I let it dry overnight in the garage.

In my storage closet I have been saving a pile of frames and knickknacks that I hadn't quite found the right place for. It's a bit of a hodgepodge collection. 

But that's nothing a can of spray paint cant fix!

A quick run to Hobby produced these sweet vintage knobs 50% off of course!

I ordered the photos I wanted for the frames from the Wal-Mart just down the street.

And within a few hours they were finished printing. 

I mounted my new coat rack to the wall using six large screws.

I wanted to be sure that it was strong enough to hold our heaviest coats and bags.

Here is the finished product!

I am so pleased with how it turned out. 

Over all, I think I spent about $20.00 on the whole project. Not too shabby!

Have a great day!
